#haikuforhealing 2024 Edition

The 2016 edition of #haikuforhealing is here. All poems on this page are ©Mary Lee Hahn. If you'd like to join in, let me know and I'll add your link. This page is where I'll archive all my haiku (and probably some cheritas, too). 



11/8

storms loom
buffeting winds have begun
prepare the lighthouses


11/9

chickadee swoops in
perches atop the feeder
oak leaf flutters down


11/10

yukky weather
can't dampen all the joy
grey-haired toddler


11/12

look up
the road is arduous but
beauty still abounds


11/13

the past exists
alongside the future --
seed shares branch with bud


11/14

thank you, redbud
for this incongruous
joy


11/16

ten seconds of wind
sycamore reminds me: breathe
this too will pass


11/17

be bold
hide our survival strategy
in plain sight


11/19

we see you little bloom,
understand the assignment:
darkness will not win


11/20

you are worthy
your work here is important
you are beautiful


11/21

if you leave a trace
make it a beautiful one
show your work


11/24

accidental shot
holds all essential info:
sky


11/26

ignore human quacks
lead with brassy confidence
head held high


11/27

library lions
begin, like humans, as cubs
feed them all the books
