n., pl., haiku, also -kus.
- A Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.
- A poem written in this form.
[Japanese : hai, amusement (from Middle Chinese bəij, pha·j) + ku, sentence (from Middle Chinese kuəh).]
i plan to write a haiku every day for the next month.
i don't know where the inspiration will come from. tonight, i am tired and want nothing more than to go to bed. i'm not feeling very inspired. but i've committed to this endeavor and sometimes the greatest and most creative of works come out of exhaustion, or because of pressure, or in lieu of other things.
this is not one of them.
but, i am not looking for greatness at the moment.
i stretched myself with this little haiku and it feels good.
i found my inspiration in a woven piece of fabric from arizona. i use it to set really hot dishes of food on. ..but it's quite possible that this deviates from its intended use. the fabric is a creamy beige color, with fringe on the edges and two huge saguaro cacti in the middle. they sit against a vibrant setting sun. the sun hangs low in the sky, melting into the clouds.
the color of sky
sky, the place airplanes fly fast
the color of dreams
