you lay yourself down
at last, let go of yourself
fed, warm, safe, you rest

This haiku is beautifully serene, CLP. It encapsulates the feeling of peace and contentment that comes with finding a moment of rest in our often hectic lives. The simplicity of being fed, warm, and safe, yet so profound in its impact on our well-being, is captured elegantly in your words.
What inspired you to write this haiku, and do you find that writing these short, reflective pieces helps you to find a sense of peace in your own life?
Good morning, Justin. Thank you for your comment. Haikus do a good job of forcing a writer to be concise. However, they are not always executed precisely. I am glad you felt what I hope to capture from a serene moment in good company. That is quite a beautiful thing to know.
I think the joy of the haiku is that it allows a busy life to be led without missing out on a little poetry. Think of these as the original snapshot, (alongside cave paintings and graffiti).
Thank you again for writing to me. Chris
