Delving into night
Fingers waltz the page of days
Hours slip away
Yes, the last line has 4 syllables. Not intentional but "hours" is, apparently, a single syllable even if it sounds like two when I say it.

Spring leaves on the ground
Autumn calls the winds of change
Dreams turn into dust
Context is everything so I'm not going to give you any ;)

Heaven’s River flows
stardrops rain down through the night
***** out the candle
This marks the next phase of a journey to understand Haiku better.
Hopefully, I can improve on this eventually.

You think of me in terms of you.
My normal doesn’t satisfy.
It doesn’t matter what I say;
you only see me in your way.

The news is good but you see bad.
I’ve had it up to here with that.
You fear the worst; I see the best.
You’re really an obsessive mess.

I’m standing here as plain as day,
wanting you to see the facts.
Wanting you to just let go
of broken notions you still hold.

Here I am, just take a look.
Read the book I’ve given you.
The things you took away from me,
I want them back; why can’t you see?

Truth means very much more to me
Than what you give me credit for.
I’m worth a chance, please give me that
Or stand aside to play your games.

Pick on someone else’s brother.
Choose another to twist and turn.
Let me live my life today
Or get the hell out of my way!
Power corrupts...
Having one of those days...
He drew a line in the sand and I'm about to cross it.
Just had to get this out first.

pale birch trees stand tall
long shadows seep into night
lumberjacks slumber
Trying to get closer to a real haiku/senryu here. I've still got a long way to go before I get a handle on some of the intricacies.

the river of time
slowly flowing deep and wide
can’t rewind the Spring

Dreaming near the lake
Mesmerized by fleeting waves
Thoughts drift back to you
