Wrote around 150 haiku this year, blogged maybe 120. Here are a few of the better remainder. Didn’t blog these before because they are so bloody negative, with but a hint of sunshine peeking through the dark. I have been trying to be more upbeat in my blogs lately, which rather flies in the face of the reality I blog within.
Unfortunate Cookies
Much monkey business
Not enough mathematics
Many flat-earthers
Sky and Earth gave birth
to Time, which sired sorrow
Now is pain of then
The fairy tale
of the bristle and the thread
The dew or the dead
The day lays heavy
Hot thick bitter musk of man
soaked in broken plan
I swim in loose lies
my own, as well as others
All speak in forked tongue
Quantum mechanics
says you see what you look for
affect what you find
Seasons sift and slide
cold sidewalk of slow night talk
warm in light of day
Just which me am I
There are many me’s within
Mini mutant me’s
Big bad mood monster
watching in the wings waiting
for me to be home
When one awakens
and last night’s dread yet remains
it bites the big one
Bad is bad is bad
yet still the mind looks for good
to lighten the way
On dark earth of greed
I seek for higher fire
a more gentle seed
Fair is as fair does
Greed bleeds both body, spirit
as it hunts the heart
Lost in the shuffle
somewhere in the overhead
Thought saved for later
Looking for new path
But it is the it it is
and it must be walked

I really like the first several at the top. They aren’t as negative as you might think…. up thru mini mutant me’s… A snapshot of reality perhaps. I like them a lot. Hope you eventually get enough to do a book of them.. I enjoy reading them.
