resolution

I’ve decided to try writing at least one haiku each morning.  Now that spring is coming, the birds are waking before dawn and with my “supersonic” hearing, it’s impossible to sleep through their various conversations.  I must have talked non-stop for 4 hours last night, and so woke with a migraine–second day in a row.  But will use this as an opportunity to be still and silent for a while–the new story’s almost done!

I wake to the sound

of a dove’s melancholy

salute to the sun

the ebullient call

of an unknown bird shines hope

on a sunless morn
