Tension Released Haiku

Long amassed tension
Released without conscious thought:
A burst of laughter


Season’s End Haiku

Dry, curling branches
Drop needle upon needle
Forcing season’s end


6 Word Short Story: Post Vacation

Work: I don’t remember how anymore!


Better

A better year or a better me?
Which of these is best to see?
A better year depends for whom.
And on their last year’s doom and gloom.
As for better me – better by whose score?
For whom should I be better for?
Yet if a better me be wholly true,
Would a better year be here, too?


Taking the Week Off

Now that I’ve missed > 1.5 days of posts, I decided to make it official. I’m taking the week off. Merry everything and talk to you next year!

Persistent Glow Haiku

Gold pushing through red,
A distant, persistent glow:
Sunny wake-up call.


Impossible Tasks Haiku

Impossible tasks
Encroach on life like black mold:
Contamination


Harmonious Splendor Haiku

Like bright, glowing souls
In harmonious splendor,
Reaching out to hearts


Waking Up Haiku

Surrounded by warmth,
A soft, encompassing hug:
Temporary bliss


Closet Haiku

Long draping colors
Squashed together like close friends:
Dizzying rainbows
