Winter rain

Cold rain falls today
Wind, weather outside the home
Inside, warmth and peace

Joy

Joy comes from within
Bubbling up like fresh water
Well overflowing.

Stormy Weather

We're having a series of storms this weekend in Northern California.

I wrote this poem as I realized that there can be different attitudes and perspectives about the weather.

The rain continues
The Sun is behind the clouds
Imagine it shines.

Where does the inspiration come from?

I began to wonder where these poems come from. They seem to flow from a source within, and one day I wrote a poem about that idea:

These Haiku poems,
Flow from the Spirit within,
Like a tree breathes air.

Two New Poems

Here are a couple poems I created in November 2007:

Joy pulls me forward
See carrot on stick ahead
Dreams become more real

Stormy times appear
Listen to Inner Guidance
Smooth sailing again

Inspiration to create Haiku poems

I am usually inspired to write these poems early in the morning, soon after I wake up. And I usually create 3 or more at that time.

I posted the first of 3 poems that came to me yesterday, New Year's Day.
Here are the other 2:

The past is gone now.
Birds sing cheerfully today.
Love shines bright within.

Morning dawns brightly,
Dreams fade like a memory,
Sun clears mist away.

I hope you enjoy these poems. Have a great New Year!

Haiku for New Year 2008

New Year begins now,
Frost covers the trees and grass,
Grateful for health, peace.
