I slam the glass but,
I do not break it because
It's unbreakable!

Broken glass? Good thing
I'm wearing my combat boots.
They're heavy duty.

I sit on benches

Other times I sit on chairs

Never on the floor

I sit on a chair.

I usually sit on a chair

But sometimes I don't.

Sitting here or there,

Whether on chairs or benches,

I sit on my butt.

Tried a haiku quite new but

I think I got stuck.

Deep within the night

When nothing is bright but black,

Pink buds glow with glee

Head away when I slowly

Head away to sleep

Empty feeling now

Cannot fathom loss of you,

What do I do?

Formatting button that looks

Most like a haiku ;)

Fight battles of attrition,

Lost in unknown lands.

Coughing up the colds.

And bleed their asphalt like blood

And that's all. We ride.

Eyes fight a battle

A lustful desire to sleep

Match lost to my mind

I see SevenSeize

Joins the writing fields in a

Dark and dawning dusk


Sleep: the evil fiend

Trying to break free yet she

Keeps him in his cuffs


Suffice to say she

Sees the inner peace that dwells

Within the shells of


Divulgence and dream...

Maybe a haiku might bring

You into its stream.

Work to exhaustion

While you're young, and sleep will come

As if unbidden.


My own days as a

Night owl are relegated

To the weekends now.


Ah me, such is life.

The hours we keep affect the

Hours we sleep, n'est-ce pas?

Response to A Haiku a Day 2019-01-13 10:34:14


Stupid, tired, old

Carefree comes at a cost

Body's punishment


I went out and partied last night and I feel like crap now

Not ready to start the day

Have mercy on me

You have taken and destroyed

Is that not enough?


You will not even

Let my ghost be allowed rest

Trash talking my name


Where I fight with love

Kindness, forgiveness, and hope

Your fight is deceit


Are you not tired?

Are you not aching for peace?

You are all alone.


A forked tongue like yours

You deserve to be alone

Least not harm others


Two paths before you

A high path and a low one

You have chosen dark


I cannot follow

YOU refuse to let it go

Deep hatred in you


Wish I had the strength

To stop visiting your grave

Mourning you at all

Heavy hearts and minds,

Enduring the aftermath

Of those who do wrong.


Those we once cared for,

Now lost to death and darkness;

Sombre elegy.


Find forgiveness, not

For those who need it and ask

Not, but for ourselves.


Take flight on wings of

Freedom, no longer burdened

By those who have drowned.


Happiness may be

Fleeting, but we can still seek

Joy in daily life.


Be at peace, my friend.

Though care and concern furrow

Your brow, worry not.


This is your story.

You are the author of your

Own fate. No one else.
