At times I weary
All this invective burning
I’m charred and hollow
IT Professional & Seattle Guy
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.

As the darkness falls
Light echoing the day’s joy
Fading to slumber

Though no injury
Knee pain, stiffness and soreness
Ibuprofen saves

So full of weirdness
The internet is awesome
Life in the future

Awakened briefly
Activity around me
Now, again, silence

Monday’s mania
Subdued by evening calmness
Autumn night’s stillness
Frenetic days:
I’m not fond of them.
Such is life.
Respond, work,
Move along.
It is important
To respect people’s boundaries
Not all hugs are safe

Sunday night closes
The week’s power approaches
My house now silent

Two beings I’ve long known
Moments from my childhood
Muppets filled my dreams
