I've taken up walking home from work barefoot, as the bricks are warm and I feel I should return the favor by letting them warm my feet too. After a few days of doing this I found that, despite how well I thought I knew the path from work to home, walking it barefoot a few times really gave things a new perspective. Suddenly I have something tactile to associate with each different sight along the way. It's also a strong contrast to how bundled up I had to be to walk the same paths during winter, and how welcoming they seem now.
In some ways I was not happy with this haiku, as it doesn't have haiku's trademark 'turn,' and instead reads like 3 poem lines that happen to be 5-7-5. But school and other demands have kept my mind from writing such simple things as haiku, and now that my final is over and so is the month, I think I'll stick with it.
Thank you. My complaint, in retrospect, was kind of nitpicky, but that's the thing about haiku - you're given so little space that everything about it has to be right.
