Haiku 575

Nov 20

Announcement: Hiatus

It is a little bit sad, but I will cease publishing haiku at Haiku 575 ( http://575.tumblr.com/ )  for a while (maybe indefinitely). 

I have been publishing a daily haiku for almost 4 years (1,400+ posts once the queue dries up in a couple of days; about 1,365 of them haiku inspired by a Creative Commons licensed image). That is a lot of haiku.

The fun seems to have gone from it.

Instead, I will focus my writing on something else. Perhaps all I need is a break for a while to recharge and I will be back.

Little pool of ice
cupped in a dying giant leaf
winter marches on

Curled like a ram’s horn
out of the dinosaur age

Firm grasp on the silk
patient spider on the web

Out in the desert
rocky buttes capture the sun
light waves in the rock

A magic button
too bad magic doesn’t work
we need a reset
