My face looking back
Before my Doppelgänger
Which one is evil?

Enjoying this quiet Saturday morning, a haiku
As I sit, awake
Enjoying this calm morning
We all needed rest
I’ve been awake for a bit, exploring Twitter, reading a bit. Now tea summons me. I must heed the call.
A Haiku During Allergy SeasonÂ
When I said “haiku”
The response was “gesundheit”
Healthy poetry?
Anxiety and Mindless Guilt
Our hearts torture us
Pronouncing us quite guilty
Anxiety’s cruel

What will that day like?
Beyond my imagining
So far forward
Where my name
Will have faded
Into the realm of dreams
This notion brought about
By my misplaced fingers
Where will I find home?Â
​Seeking the place where the mountains meet the sky
Where water rises to my feet and the sun warms
My bare feet resting wrapped in the sand
Despair LiesÂ
Despair’s a liar
There’s always a way forwards
Hints of dawn’s colors
I know how easy it is get lost in fear, my mind racing with destructive dreams. It’s corrosive to my joy.
Thinking about evenings, flowers, and just being done
The day’s heat fading
Sun obscured by these fir trees
Tasks finally done
This evening is done. Didn’t get everything done I wanted to, but I never do. Such is the way of things for me I guess.
Tonight’s haiku: about seeking tranquility
I stand in the nightÂ
Breathing against all my fears
Tranquility sought
Tonight I’m seeking to calm my fears. My meditations upon tranquility are focusing on actually completing things.
Spring Is bursting with life
Spring Is bursting with life
Plants calling the bees forward
Seeding the future
This flower is in my garden. Its one of many.
