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 - October 9, 2026

Watch the roses burn,

Petals singed to crispy black:

Autumn in SoCal.

Max Q

Deranged, dangerous:

The girl in the red dress laughed.

A Nebraskan nymph.

Max Q

Sweet tequila lips:

I can taste your kisses now

My Margarita.

Max Q

I don't watch the news

I reckon birds will tell me

When it's important

It comes on the breeze

Beginning like a whisper

As summer’s last gasp

Rikosan

Decaying ghost town

Battles fought and nature wins

Robot sheriff rusts
