today - haiku(s)

falling snow covered
potential independence
with housebound stillness


i've done this before -
baked this bread, read this same book -
but it's not the same


wait for it... and keep
waiting... until either shades
fall down or eyes open


i sometimes wonder
whether i would be better
understood by loons


if i could write a
poem that embodied you, i'd
keep it my secret

I love haiku! I was trying to write at least three a weak at the beginning of the semester but that soon ceased to be...have you read Basho?
