Not Today
A haiku
It’s Monday Morning
Rain splashing on my window
I crawl back to bed
I was inspired to write this haiku this Monday morning as an illustration of how I was feeling. I wanted to remind myself that sometimes, it is okay to have a few extra minutes in bed and have a slow, relaxing morning without feeling guilty. Some mornings we are not as productive or eager to go as other mornings and this morning was just ‘one of those mornings’.
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poem that consists of three lines with a specific syllable pattern:
5 syllables in the first line
7 syllables in the second line
5 syllables in the third line.
Haikus are often inspired by nature, seasons, or moments of beauty, and they emphasize simplicity, vivid imagery, and a connection to the natural world.
Hope you had a better morning.
