Gumshoe Haiku: 2013

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.

Virtuous patience,

A skill yet to be mastered,

How you elude me.

A pet: a friend and,

Family member, whose love,

Unconditional.

Father's Day Haiku:

Dads are special men,

Giving up all selfishness,

For familys sake.

The woodpecker pecks,

The tree is too tough to crack,

Meaningless trifle.

Laughter charms the soul,

Invigorates the spirit,

Inspiring others.

Beauties of The Lord,

Surround us everyday,

See the miracles.

The clouds roll above,

Thunder and light'ning abound,

These storms, too, shall pass.

In a world unsure,
Be certain of this one thing,
God still stands with you

Thunder and light'ning,
A symphony and art show,
All rolled into one.

Sitting silently,
Night music wafts on the air,
Playing for my soul.

Silver linings are,
Ever-present if you can,
Just open your eyes.

Dawn of a new day,
Against the stark winter trees,
Tidings of new life.

Fluttering of wings,
A torrent of sound in flight,
Gone in an instant.
