Ninth of October
Geese in an arrow
Marking the cloudless sky with
Nothing but their cries

Haiku Daybook
The Haiku Daybook will record 365 extemporaeneous short poems in the traditional haiku or medieval tanka forms: one poem for every day of the year. This is equal parts writing exercise, life's record, & mnemonic aide.
The haiku's 5-7-5 syllabic structure is familiar to most readers. Its predecessor, the tanka, includes a couplet of 7 syllable lines as a kind of epigram.
Memory is the intent, writing is the means, poetry is the method- & brevity is the relief!

Marking the cloudless sky with
Nothing but their cries
Eighth of October
Shadows falls slanted
Dusty brown hands streaked with bright chalk
Disappearing lines

Seventh of October
Autumn haze aloft
Bright grey skies and dull grey streets
With no space to park

Sixth of October
Spot above the pines
Starbright pearl hanging near moon
Jupiter or Mars?
