Haiku Huddle

November challenged me, and this month’s haiku are my attempt to stay warm despite the cold creeping in. May these little verses fan your flames.

Chewing in delight,
God blew the biggest bubble
held still for one night. #haikuchallenge #haiku #beavermoon pic.twitter.com/NsSV2QbAPI

It's not rushed moments
we remember tenderly,
but time spent #idle. #haikuchallenge #poetrytwitter #haiku pic.twitter.com/zChU3hRYrE

Under a full moon,
glow worms writhe on faithful leaves;
trees itch to be nude.#haikuchallenge #haiku #micropoetry pic.twitter.com/xQtU3u6lZk

Fiery tresses
dangle over empty trees,
swift sunset mistress.#haikuchallenge #haiku #micropoetry pic.twitter.com/Vr7essAb2p

Night numbs glancing blow;
purple has special purpose,
to superimpose.#haikuchallenge #micropoetry #haiku pic.twitter.com/WM12oq4wcw

Round three ends. Lights out.
Sleep like a #punch to the face,
no halo of stars.#haikuchallenge

  Thank you kindly, John. There’s been so many strange blunders these past few days. A power outage at my school as one of them. I think these last two have that vibe as a result.

yes; power outages can be like a blow to the face: sudden, disruptive, disconcerting, even visceral?

  Nightmarish. Pubescent shrieks, the demons within each of them rising to make mischief.😂😂
