For the last three years, I've intentionally spent time writing and sharing a Haiku-A-Day for the month of December. The first two years I exchanged a daily Haiku privately with willing friends, mostly through text and email. Last year I wrote and shared each Haiku on my blog. Throughout this process, I've discovered that the practice of noticing and reflecting through writing a Haiku grounds me, provides with with a certain kind of peace, assists me with better practicing gratitude, and helps me better navigate this "hurry up" world. This year my goal is the same as last year: to pen and publish a daily Haiku on my blog throughout December.
Haiku-A-Day December Challenge #21:
Winter Sunset
Winter Sunset
As I took a walk this afternoon, I noticed how a gorgeous sunset illuminated the sky. As soon as I arrived home, I rushed to get this Haiku on paper:
Sunset arrives with/
beauty, stunning colors as/
temperature falls.
I’ve found myself noticing how nature embodies poetry, and your comments today embody that idea. “Stunning sunsets” are priceless.
