I recently released a book of haiku titled Haiku in the Night. It's an eclectic mix of free-verse and traditional divided into four colors: green, red, gray and blue. I took inspiration from the Japanese legend Basho and his separation by season. Also, I thought I would share a few of my favorites with my lovely readers.
We are lunar martyrs
Dying by our telescopes
Lost in constellations.
I moonwalked
once upon a time
without you.
When your kisses lie
Whispers and your touch deceive
I am left alone.
Get it on:
You had me at lunar martyrs
