April 12, 2012 Haiku #100

I've now written
more haiku than
the years I will live in my life.

April 11, 2012 Haiku #99

Tiny little bodies
falling from the light fixture
landing on my desk.

April 10, 2012 Haiku #98

I hear the bells
ringing in the distance
for her it rang too soon.

April 9, 2012 Haiku #97

With each passing day
I grow a little older
a little more weary.

April 8, 2012 Haiku #96

It's five months today
My heart still aches to talk to you
just one more time.

April 7, 2012 Haiku #95

I miss you terribly
waking even from dreams
you were absent from.

April 6, 2012 Haiku #93 and #94

not a bright star
in the entire galaxy
as bright as she.

* * *

it grows cold once more
the ice settling in my veins
like sediment.

April 4, 2012 Haiku #92

Little yellow finch
Trilling a harmony
from the bird feeder.

April 3, 2012 Haiku #91

My bones are tired.
Eyes drooping with exhaustion.
But life is so short.

April 2, 2012 Haiku #89

It must kill you to know
I no longer think about you
more than a hundred times a day.

April 1, 2012 Haiku #89

A cricket chirps
and I run screaming
from the room.
