It's just a little.
Not a lot, not too much not
Overwhelmingly.

To the point I jest,
Instead of just sinking in
To the realm of woe.

Where we try but do,
Though we do not know, our role.
Candid in the mist.

Candy in the mist!
What our search comes to, us too,
Still we search for bliss.

Is this purpose, is
All time wasted on the lips
Of Advil's short peace.

Abort our strife or
Thwart our ego, wearing shorts
Even in winter.

Whisk away the day,
The light and grace, au revoire!
My sense of French it's

Dense immense. Past tense.
But read between the lines and
I'm sure you'll figure!

Figure out? Figure
In? A feature film? Long as
You have your figure.

These here haikus are
Spiraling out of control!
Stay poetic. Arr.

An artful pirate.
Eyepatch like a monocle!
See inside your mind

When I'm eighty years
Maybe I'll look back at life...
Instead of forward

Senescence seems to
Be like that. Memories are
Like TV reruns.

While making new ones
Seems to dwindle, all the old
Ones play on repeat.

It's been a slow day...
Time passed and I have nothing...
Wish I could slow down...

Wonder what to do
With the time I have at hand...
Wonders run anew.

Should I write haikus...?
Keep inspiration flowing...?
Making a routine,

Or write when I WILL!
When inspiration strikes me
Strong like thunder cloud.

Doubt rumbles aloud,
Monotone, stir, never stare -
Never stereo.

I want to break up
With rut. It doesn't take much!
Focus. Locusts. Mad.

This shallow life depletes heat

Deafening silence.
Cacophony of the dead.
Mournful battle cry.

Their graves are like teeth,
Rising from the sundered earth,
Grinning perverse smiles.

Awake! Your nightmare
Ends. Fear not Death and all his
Kin. A new day dawns.

Response to A Haiku a Day 2018-02-14 16:01:31


Cacophony of...
Cacodemons! Like they deem
They're only dreaming

The carnage not real
No plot in this hot hell, no
Chance a human stands

Roll a Twenty to
Escape a devilish drove
Of Demogorgons.

Stranger Things happen
When you live in the Upside
Down, so roll away!

Crawling through Dungeons
With wall to wall demons &
Fire-breathing Dragons.

How will we survive?
By casting Magic Missile—
Attack The Darkness!

Just a haiku for
A rainy day without snow
Tired mourning gray

Sitting in the dark,
Banging out a new haiku.
The light is my screen.

Thank goodness I know
Where all the keyboard keys are!
Typos are no fun.

Typewriter is one
Of the longest words using
Only the top row.

Factoids are so fun!
Though generally useless,
Still interesting.

My keyboard keys are
So worn out the letters are
barely visible

Especially the
Middle row, mostly a s
d f, n and m

I try to write, a
Entire sentence only
On the keys that top

Tremendous effort!
Sun isn't up but I rise,
Eyes like poltergeists

And take a step to...
Whatever's down the stairs there...
It doesn't fare clear...

Into the next room
Where breakfast's beyond reach, but...
At least a teacup,

Strong coffee is good
For waking up, but excess
Is detrimental...

A nice cuppa tea
Is the best thing to revive
World weary senses!

Sipping tea is the
premise of the thread, but it's
been lost in time's grip.

A fine tradition
That should be reinstated!

I was looking for
A morning where I jump out!
Of bed instead of

Lying like a drunk
Cloud. Maybe tomorrow will
Be a sunny day

A gray, rainy day;
Strangely warm for the season.
Bid the snow goodbye!

Though it may return
Before Winter is over,
We need a reprieve.
