In the Trivial (or not so trivial) stuff that makes you happy thread, KaiYeves raised the subject of haiku.
I thought it might be fun that people could post poems they had written, haiku or not.

This is one I wrote years ago
Dream,
gorgeous rain
honey of spring
Gone,
shadow winter
bitter white sky
Shine,
delicate sun
recall the luscious garden
Honored MemberNice, Swift!
(one of mine, written in the spring)
Out on the back deck
Wading through the pollen of oak, walnut, alder
I watch the moon climb the ridge
And leap into the sky

Nice!!
I might give it a try (current is not a good time).
p.s.: Peter Pauper Press published lovely little collections of Japanese Haiku from mid-1950s to early 1970s. Check them out.I've got every volume.

I have no haiku.
I wish I did, but I don't.
Shame, it would have rocked.

starry haze all in my brain
lately things don't seem the same
I'm star gazing but I don't know why
excuse me while I watch the sky

Observe us from on high.

That's why I watch the sky.

There once was a dingbat named Bjork
(not related to Mork from Ork)
who could only sing
like a real ding-a-ling;
She is the Earth intruder
who never liked "MacGruder"

Who took a short ride on a stork,
But she started to sing,
And it folded one wing,
And crashed when they ran out of torque.

When we realize that patterns don't exist in the universe, they are a template that we hold to the universe to make sense of it, it all makes a lot more sense.

It would probably be the right thread, if CQ was the right forum.

I think there cannot ever be,
a poem lovely as a cup of tea,
a tea that spreads it warmth around
from leaves that started in the ground,
so woodman pause, lay down your axe,
and have a cup of tea, relax.
