Summary: Little challenge I set myself - sit down at Writewords and write six haiku there and then. What do you think?




Haiku #1

as evening begins
a solitary swift dips
bidding me goodnight


Haiku #2

telephone wires
spreading out
like the ribbons on a
rustic maypole


Haiku #3

pale curtains carress
a pastel sky - but even
the clouds must relax


Haiku #4

the cat stretches out
to greet me when she comes in
ouch - her claws pierce me


Haiku #5

the day falls asleep
and the night awakens all
round my humble home


Haiku # 6

tomorrow's
a new beginning
for each and every one of us
