To fight destruction, create.

Small simple creations are an easy way to connect with others and to stand against the darkness which we see unfolding across America. Haikus are simple to create but these little poems can move hearts and mountains. Since 2015, on every Friday, I have had the honor of reading haikus sent in from around the world. Five syllables, then seven syllables and, finally, five syllables - that's a haiku.

Please join us and send in your haikus. You can find the latest archives here. Thanks! Maeve

Haiku Friday March 13, 2026

The high pressure dome

Sits heavily upon us,

Winds ripping westward.

Max Q

The mornings are dark.

It’s that daylight savings time -

But oh, the evenings!

Max Q

Dewdrops on grape leaves:

Morning’s translucent gemstones.

Ephemeral joy.

Max Q

We're down in the polls

Here's a plan, let's start a war

This will distract them

Bill

Gas prices are up

No, this war is backfiring

Who saw this coming

Bill

I paint how I feel

Water flows across paper

Forever calming

Brian

Buying Prophecy

Your soul for the down payment

A small price to pay

Rikosan

Outdoor art inspires

Acres of inspiration

Making ghost salmon
