Sunset Avenue

6 months of daily haikus that look into the life of a girl on the cusp of adulthood. Don't feel afraid to suggest one word themes!

[windorhaikus]

We have finished

If you haven't noticed, I haven't posted any haikus since February 13, my 18th birthday.

I've stopped because I want to take a break of sorts until August 13 swings around again, and then I will probably begin posting again, maybe just in a different format?

Anyway, all suggestions would be loved and appreciated, so definitely don't feel too shy to pm me what your favorite haiku is, or to submit one word themes and the like.

Because I want this side experiment to be about more than me.

I want it to be for all of us.

19.02.13 The End

It feels weird to think

That it took me 184 days

To share some pieces of me.

[windorhaikus]

19.02.12 Reflection

Sometimes I think of

How I've only had just these

Seventeen syllables.

[windorhaikus]

19.02.11 Pause

I've got a button.

It makes all the noise in the

World, stop, just for now.

[windorhaikus]

19.02.10 Talk

Talking is still cheap.

It costs nothing to tell me

How you've been feeling.

[windorhaikus]

19.02.09 Laughter

You've got something great-

A beautiful laugh, just like

Your attractive face.

[windorhaikus]

19.02.08 Trust

You don't have a reason,

Not truly, not a good one-

Not to trust in me.

[windorhaikus]

19.02.07 Time

There is no time left,

Not for me to get better-

Not for me to change.

[windorhaikus]

19.02.06 Ambition

I have ambition.

And maybe that's why you hate me,

Don't worry, I'll fail.

[windorhaikus]

19.02.05 Love

And maybe I don't love.

What I mean is maybe I

Just want to be loved.

[windorhaikus]

19.02.04 Make Up

I painted my face-

Not to feel prettier, but

Just to feel like art

[windorhaikus]

19.02.03 Promises

I've made promises

I couldn't keep, but I

Learned from the best.

[windorhaikus]

19.02.02 Awry

I thought I made good,

If not great plans. Surprisingly,

I make nothing good.

[windorhaikus]

19.02.01 Beginning

And there's a decline,

And I feel it coming, the

End I should dread.

[windorhaikus]

19.01.31 Joke

I'm the biggest joke,

The best one really, that the

Universe has told.

[windorhaikus]

19.01.30 Supply

I run out sometimes.

Of that which keeps me going,

Keeps me hoping.

[windorhaikus]

19.01.29 Failure

Yes, I know failure.

She's really the only thing

I still truly fear.
