I spend a lot of time, probably too much, on Twitter – my handle is @littlefluffycat – and from time to time I like to write haiku there. Here are all the ones I can find.
Wisdom is not a
function of age, but of a
questing, loving heart — a birthday haiku for a young philosopher
light the candles for
death, for sorrow, for joy, for
birth–all beginnings
I asked the cat why
cats slept all day – she said “hush,
we are dreaming you.”
as the sun sank rays
turned the adobe gold and
Spanish hoofbeats rang — someone’s picture reminded me of a memory of a pueblo at sunset
Sisyphus cleans the
beach, leans on his broom, dreams of
a simple boulder. – written the day BP tarballs were reported on my home beach in Pensacola
how fast a year goes
we counted it in dance steps
we sang all the words — first anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death
If I added all
the said things and the unsaid
there would be silence – strangely enough, a response to the first season finale of Syfy’s “Caprica”.
Across twitter the
Walton chorus rings “good night!”
“love you!” “mwah!” “hugs!”
in the quiet, smile
at the sound of the cat’s purr
from across the room
We look in mirrors
and see each other, hear each
others’ hearts beat now
In the dark, the broken dark, bring hope
to the hearts, the battered hearts, bring peace
to the world, the jaded world, brotherhood;
amen, amen –A prayer for Haiti
We save each other
with hugs & words
sometimes with money
at great distances & nearby
we hear each other’s hearts beat, now — early draft , later became haiku
May all the people you have met
and all the ones you haven’t yet
be, all of them, a gentle net
to cradle you in love — a blessing, originally tweeted to Amanda Palmer
