A Haiku, The Deer

This morning I was looking out the front windows of my house, watching the deer pass through. It is always something interesting to watch. The doe looks around and remains ever vigilant when the fawns break out into playful fits. When their hooves hit the dirt road that borders my property, their interest changed. TheyContinue reading “A Haiku, The Deer”

A Haiku, The Wildflowers

Yesterday morning I was staring out my kitchen window and got fixated on vibrant colors poking out of the leaf-covered ground in the woods. I dismissed it for the time being but kept checking on the spot throughout the day. Later on in the day, I finally caved and took a walk to see whatContinue reading “A Haiku, The Wildflowers”

A Haiku, The Sunrise

We had such a beautiful sunrise this morning. It always seems like, after bad storms pass through, we always get a beautiful sunrise the following day. So I wrote this haiku to encapsulate the experience. Nighttime surrendersVibrant light beams cut the darkSun blooms the new day Let me know what you think!Thanks for reading!Travis TravisContinue reading “A Haiku, The Sunrise”

A Haiku, The Critters

I was creek fishing a few years ago, and I cast my line upstream and noticed what looked like a skinny log coming towards me. I stepped to the side to let it pass by and saw it slither in the stream. It was a snake. I said to myself, “hmm, that was interesting,” andContinue reading “A Haiku, The Critters”

A Haiku, The Volcano

A Haiku, The Earthquake

I figured I did a tornado haiku, so why not do an earthquake haiku, haha! The 2nd line of this has a double meaning when you think of it. The Earth has faults, as do we, and sometimes they collide. Plates shift, the ground quakesThe faults of the Earth collideMankind plays its part Let meContinue reading “A Haiku, The Earthquake”

A Haiku, The Cold

I let my dog outside this morning and stood on the porch looking over the frozen yard. The sun was poking through onto some parts of the yard melting the frozen dew. The melting happened so quick. I walked down my driveway and back to my porch, and it was gone. It was almost asContinue reading “A Haiku, The Cold”

A Haiku, The Vibrant Lives

A Haiku, The Sun

So here is another spring haiku that I wrote this morning. It is in the 50’s today, and it’s easy to notice the impact the sun has on dormant life. Dormant life renewedThe sun kisses God’s creaturesExuberance reigns Let me know what you think!Thanks for reading!Travis Travis J. McRoy 2021 All Rights ReservedImage by Tim Hill from Pixabay 

A Haiku, The Windows

I have to keep the spring haiku train rolling, so here is another one I thought of this morning: Music to our earsBountiful sounds of natureOpen windows bask Let me know what you think!Thanks for reading!Travis Travis J.

A Haiku, The Rain

I just thought of this haiku last night as I was staring out my office window. I could see lightning in the distance and a little rumble of thunder. Shortly after the lightning, it started to rain. Taps on the rooftopLightning dances with vengeanceThe clouds start to weep Let me know what you think!Thanks forContinue reading “A Haiku, The Rain”
