Artistmat Goes Haiku

     Been busy for these past few months and my mind has been preoccupied with so many things to think about. My journey of creating more poetry and prose has been put on hold. Never been able to give my all out imagination in delivering you bits and pieces of my wandering mind. 

     Staying at home for more than three days because of the inclement weather condition made me consider haiku. The structure of haiku fits perfectly for someone like me, who's trapped inside a dungeon called "writers' block". I tried one, then tried another, then it went on and on. Now, I'm enjoying the comfort of making haiku. 

Here are my works:

..........

Droplets from above

Kissing the planet in pain.

Washing away hate.

..........

Mighty sun came in.

Showering his existence

To this crying world.

..........

Whistling breeze crawling;

Covering the land of greens;

Conquering the night.

..........

Trees gently swaying,

In rhyme with our melody.

What more shall we seek?

..........

So fluid, you are.

Your presence is prime to us.

Water, life's fuel.

..........

Surviving a day,

The eagle dives from above.

Her prey meets his fate.

..........

Pick up those pieces.

The rain is about to come.

Take care, little ants.

..........

Come, rise as you are - 

Beautiful and elegant.

Bloom... nature's flower.

..........

Look at the beauty

Of our lovely night divine.

Dark, yet relaxing.

..........

Sitting on the branch

Of a century-old tree,

This owl stares at me.

..........

Grasses on the ground,

Come out now and spread your blades;

Rejoice for the rain

..........

Caterpillar dear,

Someday you'll fly just like her - 

Reaching for those dreams

..........

The storm is over.

Can you flap your wings, my dear?

Get ready to leave.

..........

Dancing in such grace

With sparks and burning desire,

This fire caught our eyes.

..........

Pearl of the night sky,

Blooming from a distant shore.

Enticing our wolves.
