rain drops on a puddle with the haiku Looks like rain will fall. Even so, all will be well’ the sun comes again

As you know, I have been planning to include pleasure in my life. This year, I am focusing on trying new things.

One thing I’m trying is Haiku; an ideal indoor activity for when rain will fall.

It’s a traditional form of Japanese poetry, represented in English by three lines of five, seven and five syllables you can read in a single breath.

They use beautiful language to evoke moments of time and a feeling that you have the wisdom to understand the mysteries of the universe.

I wouldn’t say I am very good at it yet, but I feel good enough to start sharing with you. This is the first, and I’ll be publishing one a month.
