Haiku 26

Keystrokes in dim light
The moon is a winter’s cold
And I feel frozen

The pale blue atmosphere is gentle and kind, but somber and reserved. This, too, shall pass.

Haiku 25

Cast in my shadow
Walk toward the fleeting light that
Sparkles in my eye

In times of shadow, know that the background creates the fore-
And they are both right here

Haiku 24

Volumes on silence…
You could fill a library;
Then what has been said?

Haiku 23

Everybody knows
But we all feign a defect
And that is our role

Haiku 22

Persuasive noises —
But when you offered your ears
Then I was convinced

Set your bundle down
Satori in an instant
Pick your bundle up

Haiku 20

I went for a skate
Down to the grocery store
I forgot my shoes
