HaikuWriMo 2018 Feature 4/4

Well, this is it guys! HaikuWriMo has come and gone, in a flash I have to admit, it was a struggle this year compared to last year. I think I had a lot going on, so it kind of killed my usual flow of inspiration BUT I managed to do all 28 poems -- so I'm okay with this At any rate, please give these guys some love, maybe give a comment or two with that favorite. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to view this feature, as it helps put some eyes on these wonderful poets below.


Transition (Tanka)Transition

The world always turns.
As life phases in and out,
What was dead renews
And what was old becomes new;
As life changes, we adapt. TransitionQuite a different smile
'twas not out of innocence
Swaying graceful hips
Glances of a curious kind
No longer was she a child TransitionWaxing, waning moon
Sun dancing from east to west
Clock’s ticking countdown
Humans are like butterflies
Life is short, so enjoy it transitionold winter dying
summer breathing down spring's neck
nature comes alive
rose roots are sending up canes
green thorns harden new leaves grow

ThunderstrikeThunder strikes deep
Fire fanned into a fury
My heart overcome HaikuWriMo Day 28spring was born from the
sunrise -- warm remains
after a frosted evening. iceboundThe mountain quaked beneath us, topsy-turvy clouds gathering overhead. Trickling water from the valley was icebound and the squalling wind rang hard in my ears, my hands, my feet. My first thought was that this might be nothing more than a frozen wasteland and then you touched my shoulder, motioned for me to turn around. The sky was alight, awash in aquamarine and glowing. It was there that we joined hands; stared up and away, ignoring the arctic chill and enjoyed the view.
We survived the cold
and through the wild storms we are
better together 23Icy rain; I curl
into the warmth from my cup
of chamomile tea

2018 February Haikuwrimo Week Four28
airport morning
such a hurry
just to stand in line
27
streetlights barely show
through the heavy snowfall
sleep now, shovel later
26
I think these lonely tracks
in the snow
are mine from yesterday
25
snowy commute
we all all just guessing
where the lanes are
24
sad songs on the radio
make me hurry home
to hug you close
23
new lyrics to popular songs
custom soundtrack
for our own journey
22
blue jay pair
screeching out arguments
about their nest
21
wet sidewalk
treacherous
with black ice<da:thumb id="733081967"/> nature's love is warmSnowflakes kiss faces-
coldness lingering in ways
still allowing warmth. after the rainif youth is like rain
this amber stained sky, this veil
may lynch me like fruit

Haiku 027'Neath tangles of pipe
Sterile rods of light, o'er dust
Covered concrete reign Day 26I choke on the flowers
that is clawing up my throat,
begging for sunlight samplingI went across galaxies because you sent me. I arrived because you welcomed me. I was here and not here, yet there and not there.
particles we are
waving
in pulses
