haiku. still. and loving it

i was in deep sleep

dreaming about work, not fun

so, i tried, again

. . . [5/14/23]

. . .

sleep, such a good thing

a break from things if you can

get naked and sleep

. . . [5/14/23]

. . .

here we are again

we're sitting in our places

it's morning and tea

. . . [5/14/23]

. . .

i like our morning

i like the quiet with you

i like all our days

. . . [5/14/23]

. . .

my family is big

i don't really see them much

wish i could do both

. . . [5/14/23]

. . .

tea again, morning

warm drink to start off the day

humans do love this

. . . [5/14/23]

. . .

fairy tales are old

no one's making up new ones

they have no place now

. . . [5/14/23]

. . .

and no more folk tales

we make up different stuff now

to trick each other

. . . [5/14/23]

. . .

the window's open

breeze comes in and says "hello"

this is a nice day

. . . [5/14/23]

. . .

we'll be heading home

for the rest of this sunday

dodgers at 1:10

. . . [5/14/23]

. . .

listen to the wind

blow this way and that way and

just a whisper now

. . . [5/15/24]

. . .

oh my gosh, i'm so

tired, and i don't know why.

so very tired!

. . . [5/15/23]

. . .

i'll sit, get some air.

just sit here like this for air.

let me sit here, please.

. . . [5/15/23]

. . .

i am a poet.

i did not know it 'til now.

you're a poet too.

. . . [5/15/23]

. . .

i can hear some feet.

whose feet are those a-coming?

they didn't a-come.

. . . [5/15/23]

. . .

i can hear the drums.

i love coming home to that.

we each take our time.

. . . [5/15/23]

. . .

it's a little cold

it's colder that usual

it's may, should be done!

. . . [5/15/23]

. . .

it's warm enough though

that i can sit out here now

i like warmer though

. . . [5/15/23]

. . .

i'm writing haiku

and it makes me quite happy

lovely thing to do

. . . [5/15/23]

. . .

i'm gonna throw up

though i probably will not

this happens a lot

. . . [5/15/23]

. . .

again i sit here

it's a good morning place, see

it has been quiet

. . . [5/16/23]

. . .

it's only mid may

i felt like it was longer

there's still time for me

. . . [5/16/23]

. . .

it's only mid may

so there's still time to save me

thought my time was up

. . . [5/16/23]

. . .

what have you to say

this life is weird - ammiright

i know - i agree

. . . [5/16/23]

. . .

we'll keep at this thing

we'll get better and better

we'll keep refining

. . . [5/16/23]

. . .

the fog is out there

always looks so good with trees

i love it like this

. . . [5/16/23]

. . .

the fog is so bright

unlike any time i've seen

it's like it's glowing

. . . [5/17/23]

. . .

i sit here again

morning routines and rituals

so here i do sit

. . . [5/17/23]

. . .

a little past mid

may is on its hind legs now

soon it will be june!

. . . [5/17/23]

. . .

i am so tired

this week has been weighing down

i am so tired

. . . [5/17/23]

. . .

the finger picking

has got to stop one day soon

or maybe never

. . . [5/17/23]

. . .

i'm using all the

same words all the time here

just bouncing around

. . . [5/17/23]

. . .

can i help you with

that seems heavy i can

carry some of it

. . . [5/17/23]

. . .

what should i do now

i ask myself and wonder

probably, i know

. . . [5/17/23]

. . .

i've been coming here

for years i've been coming here

it's time to go now

. . . [5/17/23]

. . .

maybe bigger words

will make fancier haiku

why fancy haiku

. . . [5/18/23]

. . .

what are you saying?

what are you trying to say?

what is coming out?

. . . [5/18/23]

. . .

it's all coming out

it's not supposed to stay in

that's all been a lie

. . . [5/18/23]

. . .

let's say what we want

let's mean what we mean all day

say it with me now

. . . [5/18/23]

. . .

i would like to camp

nothing that grand just being

out in a nowhere

. . . [5/18/23]

. . .

i best get ready

i've got to get to work soon

only 2 days left

. . . [5/18/23]

. . .

as the seasons change

we do too in hearts and minds

we try hard to be

. . . [5/19/23]

. . .

it is getting hard

harder and harder it seems

living in this world

. . . [5/19/23]

. . .

the tech has brought more

choices - options - too many

more steps to all things

. . . [5/19/23]

. . .

i wish we could breathe

seems the first thing we let go

the one thing to keep

. . . [5/19/23]

. . .

what can we all do

faced with such gross shit all 'round

this world is too hard

. . . [5/19/23]

. . .

you be your best

i'll be me as best i can

and we'll see this through

. . . [5/19/23]

. . .

garage sales today

we'll go to the movies though

off to see bullitt

. . . [5/20/23]

. . .

it is saturday

that was a hard week for me

glad it is today

. . . [5/20/23]

. . .

there are so many

dogs in the hood it's so nice

even when barking

. . . [5/20/23]

. . .

end of may is near

wow to june being so close

i want it diff'rent

. . . [5/20/23]

. . .

. . .
