Haiku x 2. NaBloPoMo Day 7

It’s been a beast of a tech week. I’m trying to eat and sleep and get outside when I can, though it’s not been a whole lot these past three days. I think I’ve missed a day of posting,for NaBloPoMo. Maybe I’ll catch up and double post at some point.

I’m trying to write more haikus rather than scroll on my phone while walking. As part of The Bored and Brilliant Challenge, I composed haikus in my head instead of taking pictures in an effort to stay off my phone. But sometimes something was worth having a picture and a haiku. Here are two from recently.


Pay attention here –
Someone took a highlighter
to mark the sky pink.

Fairy wings lit up,
We tramp through crisp fallen leaves
pursuing candy hauls.

  1. I love when you post haikus! It never, ever crosses my mind to write them, but they are just so fun. I’m always amazed at how profound such a short form of text can be.

    This time of year, I think along these lines nearly every day:
    “Pay attention here –
    Someone took a highlighter
    to mark the sky pink.”

  2. Thanks for sharing this poem, Diane. I just learned what NABLOPOMO is earlier this week and I love that you and others are getting involved. I may have to start and blog and get involved myself.
