Here’s my haiku for today, on the topic of Death:
Lady Death is here
It’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.
naked in the windless void
all your veils are gone

The rustle of wings
In the corner, love waiting,
Death whispers, “Come home.”
I have decided….
when Death knocks on my front door
I’m not answering.
a wave lifts its head
dashes itself on the sand
sea and shore remain
Ah, death is such a rich subject, so ripe with possibilities — just like life!
Here’s another haiku I wrote about death:
Adventure calls you
seek the twisting paths of death
through the Mother’s realm
November and March -
I dread your darkening stare
You stole my kindreds
Set aside the grind;
Complete your bucket list first.
Death looms, far to near…
Death is part of Life
It hovers in the corners
Just waiting its turn
