Gumshoe Haiku: 2012

Welcome to The Gumshoe Haiku Online Collection of Haiku Poems

After years of writing Haiku, I realized I'd better start keeping track of them in a single place.

I truly enjoy the simplicity of the genre, especially when life can be so complicated. Most of these simply come to me in moments of reflection. If the words don't float by like clouds in my view, I do not waste too much time searching for them. If you are not familiar with the Haiku poetry form, I've put a link somewhere over there on the right side of the page so you can get a bit more information. The only true rule I follow is the 5-7-5 syllabic structure. I tend to not worry about using a season word or cutting word as do the true Japanese Haiku.

I am a private detective (thus the word "gumshoe" in the title), a martial arts instructor and student, wife and mom. Those are definitely not listed in order of importance.

If you're nosy or curious, you can read more about me in detail in the "about me" section to the right. Otherwise, read on. Enjoy. Feel free to leave comments. Above all: relax.

Spiraling leaves with,
Wings of cool November's breeze,
Beautiful endings

Watching the leaves drop,
Tinted harvest harmony,
Drifting symphony.

Try simply praying,
He will comfort those who are,
Weary in spirit.

Watching the dogs play,

The kittens chasing june bugs,

The cats, sunbathing.

I was lost in thought,
Until I was found. Alas,
O serene moment.

Prayers are more than,
Simply please and thank you notes,
Sent from man to God.

Positivity,
Such a feverish gift that,
Effects minds of all.

Aspire to kindness,

Forgetting about greatness,

The rest will follow.

God bless you my friends,

Whether you believe or not,

He loves you always.

My daughter brings joy,

In innumerable ways,

A smile for my soul.

Prayers for all those,

Who find that they are in need,

Of blessings from God.

Sneaky little cats,

Doing things they ought not do,

But I still love them

Watching the bats fly,
About their indirect routes,
Reminds me of life.

Calming the spirit,
Proves simple when one turns off,
External input.

Watching the dogs play,
The kitten chasing June bugs,
The cats: sunbathing.

The wings of angels,

Have been given unto you,

Fly away home now.
