A Goodnight Haiku

Eyelids drooping down
My weariness at day’s end
Preparing for bed

A Good Night Haiku

This evening creeps past
My body is now weary
Listening to the wind

I’m fighting some beastly bug. Tis time to let sleep have a go at it. 

Alarm Clocks: A Haiku

Just ten minutes more

As the clock keeps beckoning

The demands of life

A Friday Haiku 

And now this ending
Providing a brief respite
The next one comes fast 


And so ends this week. Are you ready for Thanksgiving? And Black Friday…and holiday madness.

May you still find peace during this time.


Awakened, now returning to sleep

Awakened briefly
Activity around me
Now, again, silence

Awoke by my racing mind

Resisting waking
My chaotic mind distorts
Damaging my rest 


My mind gets going, laden with fear and energy, heat building up in my scalp as the unfocused fears run unburdened by logic or balance. Unreasonable and irrational, disrupting my rest and my day. 

Seduced by the Snooze Bar

​Snooze bar seduction

No, not due to laziness

Rather, contentment
