Mindfulness
Since my interest in the Haiku form arose out of my exploration of mindfulness, most of my efforts will somehow fall under that heading. So rather than try to force-fit them into previously existing discussions, I will start my own. I make no pretense now, of understanding the nuances of the form other than the 5/7/5 requirement, so I guess they will mostly be "basterdizations". So be it, sometimes the message trumps the format. That being said, I promise to take the time to at least try to understand the rules that I may be breaking. I will start by collecting here the few that have been offered elsewhere.

Coming and going,
Waterfowl, no traces, no plans.
Tao does as it is.

Vigilant robin.
Focused fully on the hunt.
Bane of the wild worm.

Slivers of silver
Moonlight slips through cloud cover.
Thus arrives wisdom.

Letting it all go,
finding what is left to me.
I have everything. -

What a wonderful place to be!
I can't seem to get there any longer. But I leave a door open...
disintegrating...
i'm unrecognizable
most of all to me -

Four A. M.; black, bleak.
Time arrested by despair.
Dawn comes anyway.

Seven ten a.m.
darkness hangs as sun beckons
daily light returns
some say the darkest
lie just before the brightest -
new years wish to all

Happy New Year to you and yours, ever-kind M.
peace in this moment
joy in the act of living
mindful acceptance -

I was reading a short poem by Mary Swigonsky about a 13 century Zen nun (Mugai Nyodai) and I realized that the last 3 lines formed a striking haiku,
the bottom fell out
Where water does not collect
the moon does not dwell
