Haiku for every day of October 2025

Haiku for every day of October 2025

 

October 1

King of hearts, not just

Playing card worth less than the Ace

He’s the King of Kings

 

October 2

I breathe happily

Cool morning bathed in sunshine

Crickets sound asleep

 

October 3

Sleep mask sleep comes sweet

All that air blowing through me

It’s cpap heaven

 

October 4

Praying all my life

Holy Spirit running wild

Puts me in my place

 

Sunday October 5

Lamb who rose a roaring lion

Come house yourself in our souls

We’ll run wild with joy

 

October 6

Blue ink on Monday

Could try purple tomorrow

Writing new colors

 

October 7

Dr. Liu’s treatment

Hospital hallway stories

Cardiologist

Civil War – red blood

Arkansas white blossoms

Growing in the mire

(Battle of Reed’s Bridge, Jacksonville, AR,

Aug 1863)

Celebrate sunrise

Today is Margaret’s birthday

All over the world

 

October 10

Sunshine, cool bright air

Makes me want to leap and laugh

But tough with these knees!

Short trip Urbana

Watch Indiana pass by

Look for autumn trees

 

October 12

Sick I am today

I guess it’s 12 hour flu

Sleep and sleep and sleep

Much better today

I could see friends and clients

Even plan for more

With Dave and Kim in Sidney

Few summer hours

Special time with John

We have so many stories

And love to share them

 

October 16

I need smaller pants

Found some, nice at Salt and Light

They are new to me

 

October 17

Lunch with my friend Jim

Felt like high school boys again

And I guess we … were

 

October 18

Every cornfield,

Rich crop in spite of late drought

Flat now, wait for spring

 

October 19

Her thoughts, endless scream

Buzzards looking for red meat

I feel helpless now

 

October 20

Burden to blessing

Rest, reading, enjoy retreat

Wherever we are

Margaret learns Logos

Hebrew-Greek Bible study

Loves her home retreat

Albert, such a smile

Chose loving Jesus, survived

After so much pain

Early labs at seven

Christie Clinic dreams at night

Furnace noisy, warm

Road trip to Springfield

Our second “Kenya Sunday” …

Visits with our friends

Chris’ sports family

Baseball, football, basketball

And then there’s rummy

 

October 27

Sugar maples laugh

They sing their bright red sweet songs

Autumn comes gently

 

October 28

Electric blanket

Clean sheets, cozy up so warm

Outside getting cold

Goodbye Urbana

Drive away at least for now

Then it rained all day

Into Caddo Lake State Park

Stately cypresses
