#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

As I was changing a battery in my nebulizer this morning, I thought, “wouldn‘t it be nice if we could fix ourselves when our energy dies out so easily?” Thus, today‘s haiku.

My Battery Died

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows | John Koenig

Today‘s word is kenopsia.

Kenopsia: the atmosphere of a place that is usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet.

Abandoned amusement park —

Echoes of laughter
float lazily on the breeze:
ghosts of yesterday.

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows | John Koenig

I picked up this lovely dictionary from a bookstore in Atlanta while on a road trip with my sister a few years ago. An excerpt from page 1: “The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is a compendium of new words for emotions. Its mission is to shine a light on the fundamental strangeness of being a human being — all the aches, demons, vibes, joys & urges that are humming in the background of everyday life.”

I decided to use this book as inspiration ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 For the #haikuhive - I plan on choosing one word and its definition a day to write some type of haiku. Will be posting today‘s shortly! 16h
