Haiku .... current feeling in 3 lines!

[Bluegreen]

Papa oo mow mow
Is what mama don't allow
Mama oo wow now

[Agape]

Adding some truth
To every side and gender
Lands us in blender.

Adding one cent
To every worthy cause
Found us penniless

There is way out
Of double blind test that could
Not take rest in One.

[Casey Claar]

A single night, the
most fleeting of magical
contact brings me home

I am healed, I am
me again, sparked back to life
as if from the dead

*

What to do with this resuscitation in the heart?

[Agape]

Imagine the world
the destiny of which is
hangin’ chewingam

🙈

[Casey Claar]

I am exploring
quite profoundly the body's
grid working system

Inner networks and
channels, and what it is that
tends to light it up

Viscerality,
one's widespread sensorium
can be tapped into

Experiencing
energy as raw current
is life in itself

[East Sun]

I know I erred

a grevous fault, please forgive

thank you in advance

[East Sun]

Contradictions are

very real, great and gross, but

really, what we are

[Casey Claar]

The energy is
very good as of late, I
really do like it!

[Bill Ryan]

Everyone you meet
is fighting a hard battle.
So be kind, always

:heart:

[Casey Claar]

My favorite place
in all of the worlds is my
own warm, cozy bed

*

An ode to where I lay my head.

[East Sun]

Who am I, I ask?

I search relentlessly

but, to no avail

[bojancan]

We tried to live right...
both in the Day and the Night..
yet.. so oft we fight!

[Jamie]

All Is Bad today,
Total Farce In The UK
Rishi Seeing War? :worried:

[Vicus]

No matter what

Devils dancing their last dance

All shall pass...

[Casey Claar]

Of all there is in
life, within each breath to be
truly grateful for

What I value most
is the opportunity
to live in wonder

[Casey Claar]

One day at a time,
moment by moment are lived
the choices we make

These choices combined
come together to form the
world—reality

It is oft thought the
world is separate from the
self —it is not so

The world is inside
each thought, each feeling-tone we
emit, each movement

No distance exists
between ourself and the land
in which we each live

These are more entwined,
more intimately engaged
than we imagine

Paint in beautiful
colors, dance purposefully,
speak in graceful tones

Our notes, our brushstrokes
do contribute and create
the world of matter

[arwen]

Everybody was
haiku writing - those poets
were fast as lightning

[grapevine]

Hey Arwen, was it
a little bit frightening?
That's expert timing

[arwen]

Oh Miller That was
Lightning quick thinking Indeed
No fright just Respect

[Ratszinger]

Do I see it all?
Or am I missing the boat?
I guess time will tell......

[Casey Claar]

The moment is once
again changing, newness is
freely rushing in

[Ratszinger]

Do I really see
Or am I missing the boat?
I guess time will tell

[bojancan]

In the stillness speaks
a sense of things to come next...
seeking ends in me...

[Huckleberry]

Birds sing after rain
that rushes to sea
Nature's music feeds my soul

[Casey Claar]

Clear, cool water comes
rushing over me in a
cleansing of my soul

[lunaflare]

My ear rings loudly
But it is really my brain
The soul bears witness

[Jamie]

Haiku regarding Europeans Voting for Change.
Yet MSM says "Far Right!"



Far-Right All Over?
Are You Sure Of That Truth?!
I See A Protest!

People Are Angry
We Have Reached Our True Limit
Enough Is Enough

[Ratszinger]

Trump was always right
The left cheated to win it
Now they pay the price

[Casey Claar]

On the subject of alchemic skills

*

The mundane calls my
attention to practical
matters of Earth life

At 60 years old,
how do I turn money, jobs
and bills into FUN

[Matthew]

I'm not doing that.

You shouldn't do it either.


Everyone resign.



It's not a specific word, I'm being very general about life the universe and everything.

[Bill Ryan]

I no longer see
The little black dog that was
Always by the road.

A busy highway,
The dog would sit and watch the
Trucks, cars and buses

As they all drove by.
Sometimes a car would stop, and
Give the dog some food.

I think everyone
Knew him. He was always in
The very same place.

He was there each day.
I loved that little black dog.
And now he is gone.

:heart:

[HopSan]

Loves of life that touched
each better and deeper and more new
each happier than any before.

[Casey Claar]

One by one the hours
tick by, tick tock, tick tock sounds
of the clock —time waves

As silence comes to
rest in the moment I lay
myself to sweet sleep

[Heart to heart]

Sweet sound of silence

Wherein all love dwells

In the sanctuary of my heart.

[Matthew]

Getting a burger
I'm going out with a friend
And also milkshake

[Agape]

Imagination fittest
the smallest amount of time defines
reality.

Longer the dream
further from reality lies
the land of imagination

Thy eyes then see the reason
behind the moment of past
and future,
forthcoming and receding.


The moment itself
unravels the meaning of itself to
who'er holds the moment

[Bill Ryan]

When cleaning my house
I met a tiny spider
Who was terrified.

I could feel his fear,
And see it clearly as he
Tried to find safety.

He ran into a
Corner, but could not escape.
His tiny brain (Yes,

Spiders do have brains)
Was fearful for his life. But
He could not have known

That I, a God, was
Merciful. I picked him up
Carefully, and took

Him to the garden.
If spiders share their stories,
He will tell a tale

Of how a strange God
Answered his Spidey Prayer
That he might be Saved.

:)

[Casey Claar]

clap clap clap clap clap ( yay! )

[HopSan]

That I, a God, was
Merciful. I picked him up
Carefully, and took

Him to the garden.
If spiders share their stories,
He will tell a tale

Of how a strange God
Answered his Spidey Prayer
That he might be Saved.



Wow! Since a child, still today:

I get shivers every time
when I water flowers or carry a bee
they wonder my noble highness.

[grapevine]

Riots in UK
But none at all in Brixton
Home of the Frontline
:noidea:

[Agape]

Well now that it's all
over the news the need for "news"
in me ceases.

In case of further
global escalation look for your
puppy in the mud

No adding of third
or fourth line as the prophecy
counter closes.

The eye of Ra the final counter
burns me like paper
to ashes

...

Else ok.

Not all haikus re-
sonate. Like this one haha.
Come on, people. HMMPFf!

Besides the line count,
five seven five, which you know,
running-on looks daft.



IMO, my take,
Haiku lines should stand alone,
not be bended so.

If feeling good, mind joyful and giddy --
uglify, what wants to rhyme?

Rhyme scared pop-u-lation
I promise not to be taste-ful
But some, O, my nature.

[Casey Claar]

Be the place where love
flows through—breathe and slide into
the feeling of peace

Friend, where will we go
Sending thoughts of sweetness into the sky
Let's steadily sharpen our swords

In Bath yesterday
Everything was lovely but
Too damn expensive

[Bill Ryan]

UV off the scale.
Our friend, the sun, is changing.
... Will he betray us??

[Bill Ryan]

A few hours rain
In 53 days. The frogs
Sang loudly that night

But are now silent.
The lakes and rivers are dry.
Wild fires are burning.

Frightened creatures hide
In their burrows, but cannot
Escape. Little birds

In their nests are too
Young to fly away. This is
Nature’s Great Cycle.

A little mouse lay
Dead on my trail. He ached with
Thirst. One dewdrop would

Have sustained him. But
There were none. He closed his eyes
To lie in the dust

And then his heart stopped.
I told his tiny spirit
I mourned his passing.

I gently laid him
In the long grass by the trail,
A soft resting place.

But Mother Nature
Will never intend to hurt.
It is all God’s Will.

[Casey Claar]

That made my heart hurt. Every word so painfully beautiful.

[Agape]

Heart note to selves says

Why sitting alone for days
Solving the Problem

Why. The equation
of worlds hunger solved right
at the start failed ?

It merely says that
We are failing to read it
Quite yet, slow and dumb

Caught in the storm all
that flew ...and while the skies were
laughing for you , so small.

Two great beasts battle
To the death. It is not our
Place to intervene.

It has always been
Like this. There is no malice,
Simply Nature’s Way.

No hate, no evil,
No torture, no vengefulness.
Only Man Does This.

https://avalonlibrary.net/Bill/Gaza_mother_with_dead_child.jpg

[HopSan]

Fight of beasts, one monster
Sitting on fence, trying not to see
But one insight, changed all.

[East Sun]

I say nothing now

but my heart cries out in pain

I can not explain

[Bill Ryan]

https://avalonlibrary.net/Bill/Mara_and_the_mist_vvsm.jpg

Rain, rain, precious rain
A gift of life to thousands
Of grateful creatures.

The densest damp cloud
Surrounded us as we hiked,
Reviving countless

Tiny flowers which
Opened their hearts to the sky.
I was nearly as

Blind as my dog. There
Was no trail to follow, but
We were always safe.

Both happily lost,
Marveling at nature’s grace,
Eventually back

Home to celebrate
With warmth, food and drink. It was
A beautiful day.

[Ravenlocke]

Happy first Fall day!

All’s well that ends well🍁🌈

[Casey Claar]

In a world where
myriad species come to
play, I find my home

Where light casts shadows
few have ever conceived, where
daybreak comes and goes

I wander, and wonder
where the next breath will take me---
what lays at these feet?

[Wookie]

Hurry up and wait
Interested in debate
Hurry up and wait

OK bye

Sang Christmas songs, choir, why
Most people held tears, memories, not happy.
Long life beyond, short here.

A huge butterfly
Lay dying in my kitchen.
I gathered him up

With great care, and laid
Him in the warm morning light.
He fluttered away,

Revived by the sun.
Then a hungry bird grabbed him.
But I scared it off,

And the butterfly
Flew off into the forest.
He was free at last.

:heart:

New Year's arrived and
Anticipation abounds.
Much at stake this year

http://avalonlibrary.net/Bill/mouse_behind_bars_vvsm.jpg

Overnight, at last
I caught the small mouse who'd been
Raiding my larder.

I felt so sorry.
A beautiful small creature,
Created by God,

Fearful, his tiny
Heart pounding, not knowing if
He would live or die.

I gently took him
To the forest, where I hoped
He'd find a new life.

Can we share our world
With all of nature's beauty?
I just cannot know.

:flower:

[Harmony]

Lovely little mouse
Bilbo's larder is the best
Bill's comes second next

"As daft as a brush . . ."

you add a few words:

These words are surely
"without any bristles", which

[Bill Ryan]

I've missed this Haiku
thread! :) So here’s a fun report
Of our hike today.

https://avalonlibrary.net/Bill/Mara_in_the_rain_12_May_2025.jpg

A wet, wild morning —
So we happily set out
To battle the storm.

In my Gore-Tex shell
I’m dry and warm; and Mara
Has her thick fur coat.

(A weatherproof dog,
And all-terrain, too. Nothing
Ever worries her.)

I couldn’t see much,
And Mara nothing at all. :)
But we were so glad

To be able to
Enjoy these wild high mountains
As we always can.

Back home safe and dry;
A chicken lunch for Mara,
Home-made soup for me.

I hope SO much that
We can both still do this for
Many years to come.
:happy dog: :heart:

[Bill Ryan]

Today, quite by chance
I met my friends on the road.
My dog and I off

For a mountain hike,
While they were returning home.
Such a tiny thing,

But they were SO pleased
To see me, smiles and handshakes,
High-fives and kind words.

I’d not seen them for
Ten days, as they'd been up north
For a mountain race.

As you all may know,
I live silently with my
Quiet, solo thoughts.

So when I met them,
Though briefly, I became blessed —
No longer alone.

In the quiet, still
or near still breeze of the breath
as it flows — am I

Now and always, near
and far, here and there, is where
when and how — am I

All that is, within
the eye which perceives, I dance
with inside as we go

'Round and 'round and 'round
as one in the soft-glowing
radiant moon light

Talk about weather
England has been rather good
Not wanting to gloat


But if I wanted to tick off two English stereotypes: a) talk about the weather, b) say sorry all the time - then I would end it with: "Sorry about that", ...but it sounds smarmy, which I'm sorry about.

[HopSan]

Things unplanned, happen. Synchronicity.

Happiness -- old debt gone. Goodness un-punished.
