Chisel at my soul
Arrange the chips on paper
Burn another failed draft

#haiku #poetry #writing

Never cared for dancing
My feet never found the beat
Until your heart sung

#haiku #poetry #music

We have been through much
Me and this body I'm in
Two old friends as one

#haiku #poetry #body

Heron in the reeds
Silent watcher in water
Spare what can't be speared

Beauty is skin deep
It's superficial I feel
Ugly to my bones

#haiku #poetry #beauty

Stay close to me, please
I'm not myself without you
A chair with three legs

#haiku #poetry

I'm his succulent
He says, kissing me goodbye
Thriving on neglect

#haiku #poetry

Three little birds sing
Songs of compassion and love
Waking me from sleep

#haiku #poetry

"Let me sleep!" I cry
Swatting buzzing thoughts away
Before they can bite

#haiku #poetry #sleep

Pulling inward now
Self collapsing upon self
I become nothing

Did I show you this picture of a "dreamcatcher" I saw for sale in Germany? Thought it might look good draped over my grandmother's end table

Reading a old text
I dissolve and can forget
If these thoughts are mine

Vacation is walking
Between parks, shops, and good views
Real life is for sleep

#haiku #poetry #vacation

Lost in the darkness
So I lost myself instead
Lost the dark in me

#haiku #poetry #darkness

Life under the eaves
Of wondrous architecture
We're too close to see

#haiku #poetry

Do all that you can
With all quality you can
Then when you can't: stop

#haiku #poetry

It's New York City
Loud snarl of metropolis
Why's the smell *so* bad?

#haiku #poetry #nyc #sorrynotsorry

Clocking in daily
Manager's pep talk blaring
Work will set you free
