This week's theme: Introspection

Tossing the three coins
Easier than yarrow stalks
Now ask a question

The I-Ching answers
Through subconscious interpretation
That last line - too long :)

This rhythmic breathing
Sounds easy to accomplish
Yet, it's difficult

Focusing the mind
When distraction is the norm
Difficult, indeed

A week of sickness
Oppresses the creative
Unable to Haiku

The sickness weakens
I begin to feel better
Finally! Haiku!

I stayed home and tried to sleep

Burning determination
