Oh teriyaki
Seattle’s taste sensation
Such beautiful food!

I started writing haiku in my junior high creative writing class. After high school, though, when I started studying the Beat Poets, and Kerouac in particular, my fondness for this art form grew. I tend to focus mostly on the 5-7-5 style, but occasionally I explore further.
The Passage of Heartbeats
Each moment passing
Fading into memory
Waiting on sunlight
In a VW Van
On the edge of sleep
I’m dreaming of road journeys
In a VW van
*pronounce Vee Dub.
A long day done
Though not inspired
Only feeling weariness
Force myself to write
A suburban early morning
Though it’s not yet dawn
The neighbor’s dog is howling
Life in the suburbs
Another day begins
Another day begins
Accept my limitations
Find my strengths: excel!
One last haiku today
I was going to write
But now I’m falling asleep
Yet I did write this
Too much time on the internet: a haiku
Oh, the internet!
I made a mistake today
Witnessed ugliness
Yeah, spent too much time this evening reading terrible news stories. Humanity’s ability for brutality stuns me beyond all sensibility.
I’ve found that I need to find the good when faced with this. Go create, seek out beauty and kindness.
So, here I am.
A Quick Haiku: A Moment In Paris
Gazing upon this
Such a cultural symbol
Moments of beauty
Love this photo by Mathieu Rivrin. Check out more of his work here.
Keep your focus
My mind grinding forth
So very much to get done
Hey! Don’t lose focus!
