Morning

I woke up late this morning

Walking towards the sun

Searching for nights left behind

Crashing through the daylight sky

A fool on the run

Afraid of what he will find

Shuffling through a cloudy maze

Lost in dreams of rain

Hiding in a shadow's glance

Waiting for the wind to come

And blow me away

Afloat in life's little dance

The morning starts unsettled and reflective, a soft breeze required not more inclement weather. Yes the hurts were there. Nicely composed stanzas Brandon.

I love the way the morning becomes a maze here... tender, searching, a little bruised.

[W. Barrett Munn]

Nice rhythm and I like the minimal use of rhyme including the use of assonance instead of rhyme in rain and away.

Thank you Winston. I have to say reading your stuff recently brought this one out of me. At least the style. So thank you for that.

A couple of good books about writing poetry I recommend: The Triggering Town by Richard Hugo; and Haiku: a Poet’s Guide by Lee Gurga.

[Brandon Houser]

I appreciate that. I made every stanza a haiku on this because I wanted to try that, and I've have just gotten really into all these haikus you posted. I really enjoy them my friend. So yes, I have you to thank for this.

You might also investigate the haibun, which is prose combined with haiku

[W. Barrett Munn]

haiku is somewhat the foundation of the imagist movement founded by Ezra Pound.
