inspiration gone
could return if life sorts out
may be a long road

falling asleep on
a pillow soaked with tears makes
for a soggy rest

the rollercoaster
is eating my lunch today
walking away now

doubt butts into life
and tricks us into sorry
paralyzation

dark house, rain falling
lightning flashing thunder crash(ing)
bed invites me back

gray flannel morning
melancholy permeates
in here and out there

rain makes me happy
when the sky cries i feel joy
am i damaged goods?

While this lush green NE corner of Kansas decides which season to settle into, winter or spring, here are a few previously posted haiku verses from June of 2016 when my muse was very much with me. I hope they’ll coax the sun from behind the clouds for ALL of us!
***
oh the odd day when
karma runs over dogma
redress is too sweet

I’ll bring the Zen and
spend my day not thinking ’bout
sewage in a suit
JSmith 6/25/2016
***
the DH of me
saves my life by riveting
the little heart holes
JSmith 6/24/2016
***
pooled our ignorance
and got it done
old not daft
JSmith 6/22/2016
***
summer solstice hits
crank up the whine-o-matic
sweat is water too
JSmith 6/20/2016
***
no earthly sense in
fear of flying
light me up

Haiku by Kim the night before the eclipse:
the soft suffocation of
a hot august night
earth heaves and tumbles with life
.
.
one bat two bat fast bat gone
silent sonar song
masters of the inky night
.
.
many paths are crossed today
astral planes above
we achieve totality
.
.
