So refreshing first thing in the morning
The Mimosa Haiku Page
While I am not a student of Haiku I do enjoy the form. I do not consider myself a writer or a poet, but the 5-7-5 syllable rule of Haiku provides a safety in trying to express my observations and feelings in a poetic form; sort of like poetry training wheels. Why are my poems here? Because I have a lovely, ever supportive husband with his own web site or perhaps these attempts will inspire someone else to take up Haiku; and besides, what else is the internet for, anyway?
Cheers! I hope you enjoy them.

Oh my, Stickerpox
Emma has quite a case
All over her face

Striped and sparkly, oh take care

Finding honey on Orcas
Golden drops of sun
Drip like honey through the trees
While we drink it in
Listening to the wind
Wind batters EastSound
Crashing waves break down defense
We hear this wind talk
Relaxed now homesick
Languid day in bed
No pitter patter breaking
Heart now aches for it
