haikus

[aniika]

It's that time of year again. When i start weaving words in the ancient art of haiku. Some are better than others.

I love haikus!

a haiku to sum up the process of my sewn leaf project:

needle and thread sew
through the skin of autumn leaves
leaves dry, thread gets loose

a few haikus about general creativity and art:

all i want to do
is create beautiful things
for the world to see

i am creative
this haiku is something new
i created it

my soul expresses
in the art i make today
and tomorrow too

a few haikus about the creative power of thought, which was the fundamental principle in the spiritual class I just completed, so it's been on my mind.

i think what i feel
thoughts and feelings have power
i feel what i think

thoughts are creative
don't be careful with them though
be carefree with joy

my thoughts are happy
each thought creates my whole life
my life is happy

here's a haiku to introduce the next two haikus:

two with the same start
not sure which I like better.
Does it matter? no.

skin prickles sharply
a chill from the cold, or an
unexpected thought

skin prickles sharply
a thought, a touch, or a chill
sensing the moment

And a few more since I'm on a roll:

full of doritos
so cheesy and bright orange
can't stop eating them

i spun a quarter
many many many times
it landed on heads

i wrote a poem
it started out: my kitty
is a white fluff ball

i hiked up the hill
saw roses in the garden
and found a mountain
