This week’s Humpday Haiku

jn

“I’m not really here, just a lump in your blanket, a lump that’s snoring”

 

“God’s banging his drum, promise of rain or just noise, mysterious ways”
“My voice makes you flinch, wounded ghosts haunt every word, Intimate stranger”

 

I’m rowing with Anne, we’re told we’ll reach an island, it may just be talk”

Sorry a bit cryptic. Anne is Anne Sexton a poet I admire. She had a book called “The awful rowing toward God”. The haiku is about the unknown. Rowing toward someone, somewhere, something that may not even exist. The fearful moments when you’re striving toward a dream with no land in sight.
