Haiku Friday: Alone
August 28th, 2009It’s Haiku Friday again. For the past twenty years or so, it has been my practice to write one haiku every day. Every Friday I share a haiku here, about whatever topic I happen to choose. I invite you to write a haiku on this topic too, and share it with me and the readers of this blog. Just write it in the Comments below. The only rules are: 1) your haiku must be about the named topic; 2) you must follow the 5-7-5 syllable format; 3) no obscenities or hate (I will delete those). That’s it.
At the end of each month I’ll gather up the haikus in the “Haiku Comments” that meet the criteria and pick one at random in a drawing, and send the winner of the drawing one of my e-books: your choice of Haiku for the Seasons I, or Haiku for the Seasons II.
Today’s topic is “alone.” Here is my haiku:
if you’re alone in your bed
make friends with the dark

Good morning Kim, Happy Friday to you….
Held captive by day
being pulled this way and that
time alone brings peace

I dedicate this today to Goody…….
(Hi buddy!)
The house is quiet
watched the door close and car leave
no wags, I’m alone.
