Break ~ #DailyHaikuChallenge #poetry

I was trying to hide it. The wee hours had their hold on me, again. Every night the same routine, except tonight. He caught me. The glare of the back light made it impossible to shield what I was doing. I thought I was rather quiet, but it didn’t matter.

Sound or no, he just waited for me to notice him. I did, but refused to acknowledge his stare. Ignoring something or someone is easy enough, until of course, the daggers being thrown in your direction eventually hit their target. Okay, okay, I get it.

I’m disturbing him. I could shade it with my hands. I could stop altogether but that’s not an option. No, I’ll just keep ignoring, he’ll just keep glaring, and then the battery died. I needed to plug my phone in. He smiled and rolled over. Damn, he wins every time.

Misty woodlands yawn

Exhaling, morning’s first breath

Awakens the light

Shine ever brilliant

With the blue sky and white clouds

In daylight’s splendor

Morgan of BooknVolume, has issued a challenge. Today’s Haiku marks the beginning of a Daily Haiku I am committing to for the next YEAR! That’s right, 365 days of Haiku!! 🙂

As Morgan said in her post, a year is a Major commitment, but I’ve never been known to pass up a challenge. I look forward to sharing the seasons ahead, and gratefully thank Morgan for stirring the embers of my soul and igniting the fire in my heart…
