On the edge of sleep
I’m dreaming of road journeys
In a VW van
*pronounce Vee Dub.

Haiku
A long day done
Though not inspired
Only feeling weariness
Force myself to write
A suburban early morning
Though it’s not yet dawn
The neighbor’s dog is howling
Life in the suburbs
Good Night
The night has come
Motion is now stilling
Dream’s demands coming forth
Wakefulness stills
Another day begins
Another day begins
Accept my limitations
Find my strengths: excel!
One last haiku today
I was going to write
But now I’m falling asleep
Yet I did write this
Too much time on the internet: a haiku
Oh, the internet!
I made a mistake today
Witnessed ugliness
Yeah, spent too much time this evening reading terrible news stories. Humanity’s ability for brutality stuns me beyond all sensibility.
I’ve found that I need to find the good when faced with this. Go create, seek out beauty and kindness.
So, here I am.

Gazing upon this
Such a cultural symbol
Moments of beauty

My mind fights me
Awake
Not my desired state
Yet here I am
Fighting my own mind
What do I gain
When I win?
Keep your focus
My mind grinding forth
So very much to get done
Hey! Don’t lose focus!
