Compass haiku quartet

Posted on by curioussteph

I.

Churchill’s black dog barks

Directing my attention

Grieving my black cat

II.

Compass, GPS?

Whose directions do I take?

What’s your intention?

III.

North, magnetic, true

Guidance is available

Which destination?

IV.

Feeling lost, unsure

Whats next for me, checking my

Internal compass.

  3. like these. sad for your cat. could follow the stars. doesn’t the dipper point north? I love that the haikus go full circle from a physical compass to the internal one, one’s journey going from outer to inner.

June 2017: I started writing Curioussteph.com with this: By day, I'm a retired family physician turned body-oriented psychotherapist. I garden, travel, am owned by 2 elderly cats, figure skate and am training for my first triathlon. April 2020: Three years later, the two elderly cats have crossed the rainbow bridge, and we now have an 11 year old adoptee, Ziggy. I'm done with triathlon and skating for the time being, and I am still physically active, running, biking and walking. It's now the time of the coronavirus, which is affecting us all.
