Haiku...


Nolstagia


In a quiet town,

The stray dogs are all asleep

I walk my sister Home


Haiku......


Validation


I feel a lost cause,

I haven't achieved enough-

Father says he's proud


Haiku....


Heartbreak


Kissed, when we were 5.

you get married tomorrow-

Sadly, not to me.


Haiku.....


Dreams


off to see the world,

Fame found me somewhere afar-

Gained much, but a Home


Haiku


Grief


Rain falls heavily,

just finished from a burial-

Father is now Home.


Haiku


Triumph


Where is Home, I write,

Home is wherever I live-

peace in your silence.


Haiku...


Comfort


Home can be Netflix,

Home can be a long good sleep-

Home can be a kiss


Haiku....


Sage


an old man once asked,

How many paths can lead Home?-

Just one. A good heart.


Haiku... 


Love 


Mother puts food on fire,

I have returned like the prodigal-

Tears mix with thick soup.


Haiku...


Birth and Rebirth 


My first house was water,

A child born out of due time-

The river calls me Home.
