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 August 14 2026

Attila the Hunk

Hides in a catering truck,

Fearing the Mullahs

Max Q

Impotent he sits,

Raging against the machine:

Another stop light.

Max Q

A drizzle of rain

After a hot dry summer,

Plants revel in it

Bill

The rights of the whites

Racing on like nothing’s wrong

No brakes, no filter

Rikosan

Evolving turnips

Startle kids to compliance

Root mustard madness
