Haiku Series I

by Julie Adams

I

minutes before eight
there is stillness in the halls
but day is brewing

my entrance breaks noise
door, lock, metal frees itself
I am in, alone

like snippets of film
habit occurs in flashes
lights, power, mug, breath

Author's Note: there is a haiku box on my floor at work, this will be my first entry...a few of us thought it might be fun to gear the poems towards the experience of working there/in publishing...a fun little game, there may be a winner and a prize, not that it matters, the fun is in the creation...hope there are more to come...enjoy

I did a similar thing in lunes once. It was fun and frustrating all at the same time.

You certainly catch "moments" of the day in vivid imagery. Last one a bit too philosophical for haiku I think.
