[** This personal haiku discipline I’ve started has become something of a pleasurable habit. Helpful hint, if you’re so inclined: I’ve grouped my growing collection of themed haiku sets here. You can also click the link in the “Poetry” category in the sidebar. **]

I’m coming off of a fantastic and unusually creatively charged week, probably the most so of 2016 thus far. I wrote this set of haiku to sum it up…

Haiku 5: Emancipation

(by Kristi Garboushian)

1.

Disingenuous
snakes boiling over it all:
Laissez-moi tranquille.

“The Art of Strategy” (R.L. Wing, new translation of Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War”)

2.

Serendipity.
No secret provocation,
no sly dorsal fin.

Newly created path.

3.

Bear witness: Too much
blinding white noise, stochastic
resonance. Failure.

Live a great story (and learn).

4.

Current volition:
auspices of Minerva,
prosaic temple.

My new office set-up – at home. Blessed.

There is not a paper on that desk.
