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 June 12, 2026

Birds in the oak tree

Scatter (suddenly) northward -

Only to return.

Max Q

The rush of water

A calming susurration

Luring me to sleep

Bill

Clouds pass as they do

Back when the rocks were still soft

In stoned reverie

Rikosan

Manito strolling

Blossoms perfume a stealth punch

Agents of gloom fall
