I
would like to thank Dr. Brooks for making the learning and
writing of haiku fun for me. This has been truly the only
enjoyable writing experience I have had.
I
have written most of my haiku on my patio or outside somewhere.
I normally do not care for writing of any kind but this has
been fun. I was trying to keep the haiku as short as I could,
but attempting to create a scene or activity in the readers
mind. So here is the haiku I selected for my book.
turtle
on the log soup
to night
first
light
glassy water
broken by first cast
warm
autumn day
two lovers
walk in the woods
wind
rows
sweet smell of fresh cut hay
on the summer breeze
eagle
wings
warrior’s soul
carried home
cold
morning
young hunter
watches shadow deer
cool
morning
long line at ramp
crappie biting
warm
afternoon
still pond
nothing to fish with
day's
catch
man
on a mower
cutting tall grass
thoughts turn to fishing
daybreak
at waters edge
headlights
peer into heavens
bright
sky
shows beaver hut
where fish hide
a
tail slaps the water
and
the cork disappears
day's
catch complete
removing entrails
a man enjoys a beer
