a ride in the mountains
reminds me

i love the smell of green,
the pine trees in the crisp air.
or the fresh cut grass
rich and earthy.
i love the smell of blue,
the rain on its way.
or the ocean in the morning.

breathing colors in and out,
fresh and alive.

What warm weather brings:

a mocha-colored river littered
with raw trees older than my grandpa,
floating between bruised banks
to the others, who wait in a jam
at Azwell Dam.

Haiku about Haiku

simple in its form
5,7,5 in three lines
short and sweet to write

normally nature
you know, frogs, trees, sky, rain, birds
an observation

Haiku or two? To plural or not.

I like to Haiku.
It makes me think about words,
just the perfect ones.


Sometimes when I'm blocked
I need a storm in my brain
so I write Haiku
