The collected Haiku works, Volume 1

I first learned how to write Haiku in grade school before my family moved cross-town and I changed school districts. It's about the last thing I remember about classes from then, other than having a crush on the teachers assistant we had then... another story for some other non-existent time, as I don't remember anything more than just having the crush. No name, red hair I think, that's about it. Anyway, on with the story...

Over the last few weeks, since I joined twitter, I've been re-visiting the form, and while some are rather rough, I think I've come up with a few nice pieces. Here's what I've written to date, and from here I'll start collecting another batch to put up at some unknown date in the future.

Without further adieu, here's everything in chronological order...


Think it's getting late,
A weary soul gains traction.
Time to sleep tonight.

Sun rising in clouds,
The Mountain is hidden,
The day begins well.

Commuting to work,
a necessary evil,
but not all that bad.

Another day done,
Much accomplished for this day,
time to return home.

Getting sleepy now,
heading for the bedroom door,
time to say goodnight.

Heading off to bed,
another full day ended.
Please sleep well tonight.

On my way to bed,
I stop and think about you,
always my true love.

Starting wet and gray,
a winter day continues,
spring coming slowly.

Rhododendrons bloom,
signaling spring is coming,
hoping weather warms.

Thunderstorms approaching,
the sky darkening quickly.
Hope to get home soon.

Waxing gibbous moon,
clear skies are colder tonight,
stars are shining bright.

Cold morning, clear skies.
Sunrise, city, seagulls cry.
Daylight breaks early.
