Incentives

Newly cut grass
Fresh fragrance;
A scented dawn

~~~~~~~~~


Plumeria sunrise
Yellow and red;
Abundance flowers

~~~~~~~~~


Daylight springs
Sharp streams blazing;
No more darkness

~~~~~~~~~


Strange winding path
Etchings of patient feet;
Lost round the bend

~~~~~~~~~


Daybreak
Blurry eyes dart;
Suddenly aware

~~~~~~~~~


Time and space greet
The morning sunrise;
Promising agenda

~~~~~~~~~


Joy calls my name
In birdsong whispers;
A smile glides

~~~~~~~~~


Coffee brew signals
Day time manoeuvres;
Awareness ingests

~~~~~~~~~


Talk of weather
Dark clouds hover;
Umbrella panorama

~~~~~~~~~


Morning deluge
Work day commotions;
Another day screams

~~~~~~~~~


Zen garden stroll
Anchor mindful feelings;
Icy air draught

~~~~~~~~~


Frangipani tree
Old and autumnal;
Mellow motions

~~~~~~~~~


Traffic congestion
City bound people;
Precise distractions

~~~~~~~~~


Somnolence lingers
Awareness seeps slowly;
Awakening blots

~~~~~~~~~

Leon, I'm wondering if you are a published haiku-ist. You are amazing. Forever *SKAT*

Dear Skat: No, not yet. I am considering a book of haiku for publishing. Thank you for your kind words. Just to share my haiku experience, I normally observe things going on here, there and around. Then, I let the thoughts and feelings simmer for some time, say days or months. When, I sit down to write, I don't have an agenda. I just sit and wait. Then I start writing from blank on my iPad Air. Most of my haiku fragments just come out as they are, 99 percent final. Yes, I go with the experiential feeling and the words and ideas align in an outburst. No fuss, not too much trying, but the haiku must be gently nudged. That's why I prefer to write a haiku string. These ideas ooze freely. And so many different ideas. Thank you Skat for your support. Leon
