I can’t say why I began writing haikus after midnight.
I imagine it was the menopausal insomnia and my brain needing another creative outlet. Now I have decided to just take the things that annoy me or don’t make sense and turn them into haikus.
I haven’t written a haiku since…high school…? I am a rule follower, so I can understand why this format is soothing to my brain.
5-7-5 - just follow the rules.
Thank you, poetry. I shall.
Here is the first one.
