Recently I started writing a daily haiku as an exercise to learn to express things in as few as words as possible. So imagine my surprise when one of them was picked up from my Pintrest board and published online.

Here is the Haiku, let me know what you think

Grey rock dark white spot
Yellow bud flower peeking
Crushed cup discarded

In the last few months, I have started to write a haiku on a daily basis. Mainly to improve evoking emotions in as few as words as possible and also become the form is simple. Here are eight samples, hope you enjoy.

1.
Crunchy aging leafs
September autumn shiver
Still need sunglasses

2.
Blood tinged horizon
Birds chirping autumnal chil
Zip up my jacket

3.
Cigarette dangling
Furtive secretive shivering
Coffee becomes cold

4.
Watching every move
Security cameras
Nineteen eighty four

5.
Coffee shop is closed
Always friendly warm welcome
Tiger rents are back

6.
Black clouds sky weeping
Raindrop ripples on puddle
Miniature road lake

7.
Coffee aroma
Droplets all around the floor
Patience wait your go

8.
Grey rock dark white spot
Yellow bud flower peeking
Crushed cup discarded

Hope you enjoyed them

Here is another 8 Haiku's. Enjoy

1.
Teach or demonstrate
makes no difference until
a student appears

2.
Peruvian beans
sweet caramel aroma
today;s ambrosia

3.
A misty mountain
cimmerian atmosphere
sun illuminates

4.
Languorous soft waves
caressing the waters edge
tiny forager

5.
Water laps around
surrounded in solitude
ah Andromeda

6.
Rain lashes windscreen
patiently waiting watching
wondering how why

7.
Lone white house sparkles
over there the Atlantic
life tide flows in out

8.
Saturday amble
inhale exhale salty air
rooster in window
