Defeats the purpose.

It has come to pass
that this page does not fulfill
me creatively.

It once did, but my
haikus have grown mundane, and
my passion dampened.

I plan on posting
sometimes, but I have other
projects calling me.

A haiku a day
is a tall order when you
have hours of schoolwork

But I don't mind it
I'm doing something with life
No more wasted days

No internet binge,
No wishing for better days;
I am in it now

You are what you want.
With discipline, change desires,
become something else.

Everything you think
is just as real as you make
it. Focus on dreams.

Got myself a job
In the heat, moving boulders
down in Florida

Heat exhaustion, it
seems, is a real danger here...
Just trust me on this.

Yesterday was this
year's first ninety-plus weather.
I shouldn't complain.

It is time to quit.
Although I dislike quitting,
It is apparent

This place I work at
Is doing seriously
unsafe shit each day.

With no insurance,
and accidents in the wings,
It is the best choice.

Insidious is
danger when it hides under

Exercising Again

Twenty-five pounds, and

is much heavier.

Write a good haiku
I dont think this i can do
But I'll try it once

Dirt mud earth soil dust
Earth has many names we give
But home is the best

Great! I kept it up
for around 2 years, but then
others stopped posting.

It can be hard to
stay inspired when you're all
alone in the thread.

Now I don't post once
a day, but I still love the
format of haikus.

Alone in the dark
Writing each day for two years
Is no easy task!

They certainly have
A fascinating format,

Lest you should tire, think
not of me. For I bowed to
calm in privacy.

Solitudes bring peace,
yet there are still noisy cars
of confounding thoughts.

That is true! Within
The oasis of silence
Inspiration dwells

In the dark of night
I write my greatest poems
Far from prying eyes

The highway of life
Keeps going and going and
Suddenly it's over

I could not just write one
Haiku today, so it seems
There are too many

Just lime water today

Efficiency is
a habit of those who have

Writing a haiku...
Is this procrastination?
All days feel the same.
