I’m doing a series of haiku about life and/on social media, and calling it—surprise, surprise—The Social Haiku. Thoughts, feedback, and counter-haiku welcome. 🖖 Originally posted here.

*whānau is the th Reo Māori word for family.

Clouds

Photo of Auckland city, as seen from the top of a small mountain, on an overcast day

Heavily, rain clouds
creeping over the city
cast summer away

Summer clouds

photo of a cloud in the shape of an eagle-like bird flying down towards the ground

Soaring down to earth
chasing elusive raindrops
wispy summer clouds

Finally

Close up photo of chilli seeds sprouting from the soil, in a compostable takeaway container.

Breaking glass ceilings
lifting their heads up in pride
chilli seeds emerge

Race

We race up mountains

sweating hard to get a high;

driving’s not for all.
