10/6
Making my way
through the crowded streets
Where am I going?
10/7
trees shedding
their summer skin sprinkled on the ground
I hope they don’t catch a cold
10/8
House of blankets
The whole world floating on a cloud
I am dreaming
10/9
Sun shining
Spreading summer warmth across the horizon
but it’s October
10/10
Warm sensation,
take me back to endless nights and carefree days
Eternal summer
10/11
math tests make me wonder
why can’t numbers
just calculate themselves?
10/12
rain drops falling
drumming down the quiet streets
listen
10/13
closed eyes
open curtains to another world
tell me a story
10/14
bright sun outside
peeking in through my drawn shades
turn back the clock
10/15
weeks and months blending
anticipation of the long awaited
winter break
10/16
bright shining sun
awaken my soul and
fill me with tranquility
10/17
Night falls faster now
as New York prepares to hibernate
Goodnight
10/18
October’s song of rain and wind
plays outside my window.
I’d rather listen to an Indian summer
10/19
if laughter’s the best medicine,
then after all these midterms
I want to catch a cold
10/20
It’s that time of year again
most difficult decision
what to be for Halloween?
10/21
I am no poet
but these haikus intrigue me
Simple but complex
10/22
Sit and reflect
Long days and longer nights
You deserve a break
10/23
I wonder
if I’ll remember
the memories I’m making now
10/24
so little time in a day
yet so much to be done
unchecked checklist
10/25
bright moon
illuminates the skyline.
New York never sleeps.
10/26
winter rapidly arriving,
but cant it wait
until after Halloween?
10/27
has Mother Nature forgotten
that before winter
must come fall?
10/28
long anticipated weekend
Halloween is here
night on the town awaits
10/29
outside my window
white october
do my eyes deceive?
10/30
Sundays are so fleeting
come too soon
and leave too fast
10/31
trick or treat
smell my feet
give me something good to eat
11/1
hello November.
just one more month
until winter break
Wanna be care free
That’s why I remind myself
Winter is coming
New york doesn’t sleep
But it does like to relax
Sweet relaxation
I feel like your haikus give an equal sense of working or doing things and relaxing and relaxing. I also feel like the haikus give off an attitude of not knowing or caring about the future and being okay with it which I find relatable and pretty cool. Your haikus tell me to remind my self what I’m doing why I’m doing it and where I’m going. When I wrote these two haikus I was trying to evoke the sense of freedom and tranquility that’s in most of your haikus but I also wanted to involve time/vacation like you did in your haikus. That’s why i mentioned relaxation winter and being free as well. Also I kind of see a connection with you and your pictures for example the first one about walking through New York and the picture with the people walking around aimlessly. Also the last picture which had the open sky and nature which gives me a sense of being carefree and relaxed like most of your haikus.
