Why is it twilight
When endings come a-burning
That we reflect most?

#haiku #poetry #newyear2023

You were hard as stone
Facing terrors of the world
I hardly held on

#haiku #poetry

A year comes closing
Steady carrying the beat
Ticking down the clock

#haiku #poetry #newyears

Downing one more glass
I shout, "be the drunk you want
To see in the world"

#haiku #poetry #FridayNight

Youth has a shining
Eyes and skin are luminous
And dimming with age

#haiku #poetry

New year's eve shopping
Clothing, clothing everywhere
Not a shirt doth fit

#haiku #poetry #shopping

All of life is pain
Without end or escape, but
Some is beautiful

#haiku #poetry #life

No light without dark
No hero without harrow
Balance rules us all

#haiku #poetry #balance

Isn't it funny
Add an infant to the room
TV is forgot

#haiku #poetry #kids

Cold wind finding cracks
Bright sun breaking through curtains
A good day to sleep

#haiku #poetry #sleep

Ritual terror
Passed on each generation
Photo with Santa

The joy of baking
Was never in the kitchen
It's in the shopping

#haiku #poetry #baking

I was beautiful
The mirror has forgotten
But I never will

#haiku #poetry #nostalgia

Cursed with healing touch
Watching my loved ones flourish
While cancer eats me

#haiku #poetry #healing

For two nights, I've dreamt
A llama in a goose flock
Does it mean something?

#haiku #poetry #dreams

Fog settles on me
Hazy malaise of burnout
A fatigue I can't shake

#haiku #poetry #burnout

Belly up, old friend
Pour out your trials and triumphs
I'll pour a cold one

#haiku #poetry #pub

It's simple pleasures
Dinner, drinks, a game with friends
That bring joy to life

#haiku #poetry

Lonely drunk is bad
But doesn't approach when you
Eat raclette alone

#haiku #poetry #solitude

"I'm leaving," she says
It's been over for months now
But today she leaves
