Keep writing, keep writing BE so I'm inspired to write more, too. I LOVE haiku, just LOVE it!

I really enjoy this thread and actually, I like the blues inspired haiku as well...I just can't seem to come up with as many of those. Don't you worry, whenever a little poem comes to mind, I'll set it to the page and I know you'll keep inspiring me, after all, you are thee, Ms. Haiku!!!

I LOVE the emotional anti-force of the word "hush", and the sound "shh". It's like, totally connected to my inner child's heart-strings or something....

two leaves towards war dead

I was thinking of the Vietnam Memorial, and how foggy it was this morning, and I just put the two in the same poem. A lot of times we are able to see a foggy day from the ground up. For instance, a sidewalk is revealed before a 4th floor window.
The visitor looks down the path and the only thing of interest is a couple leaves due to what the fog is hiding. The visitor does not know the memorial is within a couple steps of these leaves. Then after these steps the visitor is faced with all the names of the war dead.
Haiku should be clear within the first reading. I just need to practice more

To get you back in the swing of things, Ms. H. I need a tune up too--I don't think I can beat my February, Moods there...at least not yet!
Thanks for bringing this forward, BE! I LoVe Haiku, just love it!

And Ms. H? Of course you love Haiku! After all, you transformed into the oh so bella, Ms. Haiku now, didn't you? I love seeing you and your haikus in this forum.
