This note is for Starting a Haiku Habit, a project I set during Writing Month (Nov 2026). The goal is to write at least 20 poems this month ~ 5/week.
6/20
I’m hopeful this will get me back to capturing moments and thoughts in the form of poetry—something I have not done for years.
If you want to join the writing community and have some fun practicing writing (of all genres), create an account at WritingMonth.org. I’m happy to be your writing buddy!

All of the works below were written by me from Nov 1 - 31 2026, with zero AI tools—only a thesaurus was used.
Haiku Habit
three haikus a week
invigorate new habits;
twenty is all it takes?
Harbourfront Walk
Mom strides alongside.
Kai Tak’s amethyst oval,
sea breeze and new sights
Tech Attachment
eighteen nights detached;
no computer, just a phone
will I survive it?
Slow Photography
frames in SD cards
sits unprocessed like film days
surprise on culling
Late Realization
Chris Cornell has passed?
Audioslave, Soundgarden?
I was unaware
3-2-1
whirring platters spin
offsite backup safe and sound
data stored; no stress
