A Thursday Morning HaikuĀ 

early morning

small birds converse

time for tea

Early morning, no one else awake. I sip tea and listen to the birds sing. 

For this poem and image I used the app “InstaQuote” on my Kindle Fire. I like the paper background and the font choices. It’s my preferred app on my Kindle since there’s no Canva app. 

Often with my haiku I seek a minimalist, handwritten ascetic. For me, that captures the essence and history of haiku. 

Grace: A Haiku

Here is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge: Grace.

I think a lot about grace. Its importance both to us, and to society. How grace enables humans to function together, and is the magic elixir that ends conflict. And that grace is undervalued, perhaps even reviled. We live in brutal times, my friends.

Haiku, Minimalism, Modernism, Design

Posted this haiku on my Instagram page this morning. Exploring minimalism, the essence of haiku, combining it with a modernistic design. To accomplish this, I opted for a Helvetica-esque font, right alignment, and no ornamentation. I hope you like it.
