haiku. :)

it was one of those days when all i did was surf the net. as i was surfing, i came across a certain haiku on the Internet. then, i thought, why not try writing one? hihi. when i tried writing one, i realized how hard it was to write short poems like haiku that express something with subtlety. nevertheless, i kind of liked writing it and wrote some more. i based my poems on the pictures i have taken. i am just an amateur haiku composer. :)

here are the haiku i wrote, including the pictures i based them from. :)

a kite flies freely

wanting to be blown away

with the summer wind

as the moonlight grows

the cold summer wind breezes

through the calm ocean

a familiar sight

the November wind blows soft

ceasing the last light

the day ends slowly

turning the sky bittersweet

and the clouds tainted

a canopy of

leaves and blooming fire flowers

enduring the rain

stillness of a dew 

glued on the tip of the leaf

never letting go

a cold Sunday drive

the city lights transiting

over the night sky

streaks of light racing

the speed of time is chasing

my outdated self

the waves ebb and flow

it finishes a journey

and it sails anew

rain showers gently

ending the glorious daylight

in hues of yellow

aside from writing haiku in English, i also tried writing haiku on Filipino. hihihi. i guess i am pushing the boundaries? no? okay. hoho.

ang ulan ang tugtog

sa bawat patak nito’y

ako’y iindak

these are the poems i wrote. all of the pictures were taken by me. i hope you liked the poems and the pictures. :)

hanggang sa muli, masugid na mambabasa. :)
