Today’s secondhand haiku is sort of the kickoff of a series within a series. Our newest contributor, Shannon Warren, submitted six sequential haiku, the first two of which appear above. Shannon is one of the many talented writers I’ve come into virtual contact with as a result of writing poetry and haiku online. Her haiku will occupy the Monday slot for the next couple weeks.

Sometimes I feel like
I’ve been asleep my whole life
Trying to wake up

What do I run from?
What is there waiting for me?
Memories. Maybes.
