In honor of National Haiku Poetry Day, I decided to pen a few. Here are seven original haiku poems from me to you to celebrate what honestly might be my favorite kind of poetry. I love that they force one to say so much with so little. Hope you enjoy them!

Why I Write
Stories in my blood
Words in my bones, escaping
through my fingertips

—

What I See
Skyline lights dancing
Teeming life of the city
Conscious mosaic

—

Do You Know?
Your smile in my mind
Things unsaid are lingering
Heart facing the wall

—

Liquid Motivation
Mocha and ideas
A cup of inspiration
Meaningful sugar

—

To My Story
Always in my mind
Adventure won’t let me go
This story will live

—

What’s Expected
The desk holds me tight
An embrace I can’t escape
I’m suffocating

—

Sundown
God’s finger paintings
Roses on fire, blazing sky
Darkness trails behind…
