Exploring Haiku Poems when I taught Writer’s Circle was one of my favorite activities. Some of the Haiku I offer today (the first and last) are examples from those lessons, as I would write alongside my students. The others are those Haiku that were inspired today by my previous writing. Although Haiku is meant to create a picture in the mind of the reader, I thought I would include photographs of mine that also served as an inspiration for my writing. I find that travel, color, and nature are my three main inspirations when I write poetry.

Those images both poetic and photographic were just what needed on a dreary day here in Central New York. I’m waiting for my amaryllis to bloom. I particularly loved the photo of the clematis. Thank you!
