Porn bots come and go
They follow you, then vanish
The internet’s tao
Ah, those followers that appear briefly then vanish abruptly….

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.

Now we transition
We’re returning to normal
Within this new year
Ready to get back to work? To shake things up and make a difference? If not, what do you need to do to change that?

Winter advances
Yet the solstice passed us by
Change is approaching

Many memories
Walking past the empty halls
In winter’s darkness
Ages ago I lived in Seattle’s heart. At that point, beginning a transformation, becoming the economic behemoth of our now. Then we were still the refuge of the poor, downtrodden. Suburban business professionals drifting through, vanishing as the clock struck five. The flurry of buses and cars carrying them away, far away from us. I found myself wandering nighttime streets, streetlights and gentle rain accompanying my steps. An urban beauty.

This is my challenge
Stare inwards free of judgement
Embrace compassion
