Here’s my haiku for today, on the topic of Grief:
if only we could
like a dog, release our grief
in one long wild howl
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.


Grief is our response
to inevitable truth:
Death will take us all.
I miss you so much
Never to hear your sweet voice
Feel your gentle touch
Grief is our teacher
still I wonder why we can’t
learn some other way
Thx for playing Haiku Friday
