no destination
the old water pump
now a planter
you find a way to flower
abelia
I find traces of
the dad bod
to hear from you again
cicada
in the sound of
a sprinkler
before bed
full moon

I loved this, from the opening fragment 'one foot in front of another'...leading me into your collection. I especially liked the cicadas.It evoked joy for me in the small moments.
Cicadas are such a part of summer in Japan, and for the past two summers, for whatever reason, it seems to me like they are appearing later and later in the season.
It’s one of those things that you can’t remember ever noticing before, but since I’ve started writing haiku, I’ve paid more attention to the seasonal changes, and since last year, it’s been a noise that I’ve found myself waiting for. Whereas in the past, it seemed like I was always just surrounded by it, until one day I wasn’t (for another season).
That's interesting., both about the cicadas coming later and you be being more int touch with the seasons since yous started writing them. Thanks for sharing.
Your haikus, my friend, like those of the old school, are subtle and achieve the wonder of awakening.
That’s a nice compliment. Thank you. I appreciate you stopping by.
I hope that was a restful walk, if a depressed one
life running again

love this one I feel full- body refreshed

All walks are nice these days, even in the heat. They’re a good opportunity to reset and observe.
Great to have you back in my feed 😊 I'll go with the first haiku, as I love the "no destination" part. Enjoy the summer to the max!
Thanks. No destination and yet, every moment arriving. 😉
Those are some great poems, very well done! Great to see you back in action here on Hive. I missed seeing your post for quite some time now! That dad bod thing can sneak up one you, it's something you have to work hard to avoid!
Yep, the dad bod sneaks up on you and once it’s taken over, it’s very hard to get rid of. I was doing pretty well until my third child was born. Then I succumbed. 🤣
I’m back again for now. Still pretty busy over here, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep up with the weekly posting or not.
