    Hmmm. Maybe I've been trying too hard

    3 am
    the window full
    of moonlight

    Love the ku.

  4. Kat Lehmann Says:

    Thanks, Bill! That moonlight can be a beautiful companion but also a pesky reminder that sleep is slipping away!

    I don't know what that means, but am sure I have been there. Best! Jim

    Neat haiku!

    I rarely have difficulty in sleeping but once in a while, talking about Tao, the road/route….

    Thanks, Alan! I like your dreamy/undreaming haiku too! I'm usually a great sleeper, but now and then I just can't find the magic. That's when I write stuff like this, I guess!

    Counting 'walkers' is good during the quarantine. Michonne is an inspiration! :-)
