This month, I have been blessed with so many new challenges and new adventures and this smattering of August haiku really illustrates the ups and downs. Thank you for reading my miniature works and let me know if you have a favorite.

  1. “A gray hair shoreline
    To be given an evening
    To be gifted time” That’s my fav, though I do have a bias for the sea, as you know. They are all lovely, K, the one about the tree limbs growing old together is so romantic.

    1. Why thank you, Jeff. Your feedback is invaluable. I have learned to draw strength from nature and I’m off to do just that again this weekend. 💜

  2. “Two snuggling trees
    remind me what it means to
    grow old together.”

  4. Perhaps the trees growing old together. Perhaps it’s my age. Perhaps it’s attending too many funerals.

    1. Oh, Misky. Yes, there is a melancholy there, those trees that have more of a lifetime to be together. 💜 Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
