gusts tug at dry leaves
learned to self-soothe with the wind
footsteps find their path

Welcome to Haiku Fridays with J-Dub. Each week, I’ll post a haiku and a photo to spark reflection, emotion, or imagination.

Your challenge is simple: write your own haiku inspired by it—or on any theme that moves you—and share it in the comments.

Short, simple, powerful haiku—tiny poems that carry a big wallop. Capture a moment, a feeling, a memory—whatever comes through in 11 (3-5-3) or 17 (5-7-5) syllables. There’s no pressure, no judging, just a space to create and share.

This is about voice, reflection, and the quiet power of small poems.

Let the games continue.

sunlight splits the view
music’s beating heart pulses
shadows bend and stretch

words caught in my throat
garden waits in vibrant green
no one tends my heart

candles in soft light
years given into your hands
I was cut open

my children still wait
his branch missing from the page
does he see it too

should I even ask
maybe this is all there is
silence answers me

creature of habit bends low
breath of life fills me

stopped in my tracks, light lingers
night hums through the woods

navy blue sky full of stars
nothing fills the void
