Haiku Writing Roundtable
Millikin University, Fall 2001

Reminiscence for Serenity

This collection of haiku illustrate my creativity. This course allowed me to get back into my hobby of writing, and it also provided me a channel of escape from the business curriculum here at this university.

Some of these haiku even explain what I have been through and what I have been feeling. I have received many blessings, but I had a rough semester. This course allowed me to be able to see the old me that I felt I had lost. When I lost the old me, I thought I would want it back, but there is nothing any better than a new and improved me.

This haiku introduces that simple fact:

Reminiscene for serenity
Cannot last for eternity
Reincarnated child

—Jason Salters • Fall 2001


Are you still up?
No sleep
Peaceful look surprises me


Picnic in shade
Romance
Purrfect


cool breeze
deer tracks
under dead leaves

 

 

Box cutters
Low tech
Complex design


Water sounds hypnotize
Sun reflects
into my eyes
