Wednesday Morning Haiku

time’s motion

irresistible

spring

Two days until my job ends and I begin the next chapter of my life. Mixes sadness and excitement into a strange cocktail. 

Thoughts, early Saturday morn

​Going to sleep Friday

Tomorrow’s free morning

Ah, to wake leisurely!

My mind springs awake

Hours before dawn

This sadistic life

Tonight’s Haiku: The Pain of Children


The pain of children 

When adults won’t prevent it 

I don’t understand

You Are Wonderful: Tonight’s Haiku

You are wonderful

Celebrate all your beauty 

Leaves upon the breeze 

Pleaee, always remember how wonderful you are. Celebrate it, delight in it, share yourself with the world. Make it a better place. 

The Lessons Of Pain

As I’m dealing with shoulder and lower back pain. I appreciate you folks: constant and kind. 

Devouring Rage

We devour rage

And it seeps into our bones

One tweet at a time 

A meditation on modern culture. Am I off base? What do you think?

A #Haiku about #traffic

The night is waning 

Light slowly filters through clouds 

Steel now starts flowing 



Happy Thursday everyone! Or, shall I say, Friday-eve. 

Thinking about flinging myself into the jaws of grinding steel and plastic that’s Seattle during rush hour. 

Getting Older

​Walked to the living room 

Grabbed my phone 

Nodded off checking social media

Forgot why I went out there 

This is annoying

My life: currently in transition. The current job comes to end in five weeks. So I actively seek my next opportunity. It’s there. I feel it. I’m excited about what the future holds. Yet, I don’t know where it is. Uncertainty presents challenges, certainly. I write more about that here. 

The Pain Of Choice

It’s so easy to spin
Tumbling over, over
Losing my focus
In this maelstrom
Of possibility

For a choice requires
Leaving opportunity
Sitting in the sun
For another to grab.
What if that one
Is better than this one?
Too much of this
Is a table full of gifts
Where nothing is opened
And all potential
Evalotates into the day’s heat
