100 haiku challenge, 4, 5, 6, 7

The holiday is incidental
Thanksgiving dinner
is now just a precursor
to Black Friday. Thanks.

Wake up

Sunrise. Coffee cup.
Steaming. Lift the cup. Inhale.
Sip. My eyes open.

What I see from my window in fall
Figs cling to branches.
No leaves for hiding green knots.
A bird's autumn feast.

The challenge of writing 100 haiku

Five, seven, five is
both much too long and too short
to say anything.

100 haiku challenge, #2 and #3

Reading Eckhart Tolle
This moment. Right now.
It's the only thing we have.
Raindrops on rooftops.

Should we trust the results?

Tony's MRI
Showed nothing problematic.
He scratches his head.

100 haiku challenge, #1

I'm taking the 100 haiku challenge. One hundred haikius in 100 days (more or less). Here's my first.

Sleepless
Insomnia. Fuck.
Four AM and I'm awake.
A cat yeowls outside.
