serial cereal

I like the short succinct 17 syllables of the senryÅ«/haiku. It’s a match made for capturing moments, the small thoughts that slide away forgotten much of the day.

I’ve been writing 5-10 verses a day and gathering them together under an arbitrary unifying title to publish the next day in blog. These are less a coherent whole than yesterday’s thoughts.

Serial Cereal

Electronic beeps,
Techno ringtones, hit song squawks
I hate Cell Fone Land

Night, I mull the day
Weigh where wrong could have been right
Suck lesson from loss

I got my I.Q.
But then so do you you fool
Both just making do

These are some weird times
I eat baked goods and sugar
to deal with the stress

When asked how I was
I replied that I endure
It’s got me this far

We’re all people
Picky and pesky in part
Even the heroes

Sleep eases body
Flesh mind in seamless ease
Through pockets of pain

Sometimes sleep slides us
One trouble to another
With but dream between

Darkness go away
Negativity be gone
Play some other day
