The curse of inadequate coffee
Obligingly sipped amidst family or coworkers
Eventually I will seek out a cafe of quality
Pastries accentuating the fragrance
Of fresh roasted delight

Today’s #Haiku: April 9, 2019
There are days we dread
At least I can see them come
These dark clouds moving
All Hail Speed!
All hail performance!
I recklessly pursue speed
Losing quality
I always feel pressure to get things done faster. Speed is everything! Except it’s not. Without quality everything collapses. Pressure starts to build for both, yet they live on the opposite sides of town. Therein lies the challenge, methinks.
A few lines before dawn
Dawn’s not yet here

A Wind Transformed: A Haiku
Wind’s movement graceful
The earlier fortitude
Now a gentle song
Nighttime Dominates: An Evening Haiku
Nighttime dominates
Sleep continues its demands
I cannot resist
Winter’s Edge
Life is beautiful
Yet also cruelly brutal
I feel winter’s edge
The strange dichotomies of life. Finding beauty with the deep sadness upon friend’s wings. At times I feel an awkward wonder at what our heart’s hold at the same time.
A Quote About Time
A good thing to remember. I struggle with this far too often. What about you?
A Saturday morning haiku
Dawn has now long passed
Life’s demands now driving me
And, thus, I’m rising
Awaken, my friends, and seize this day.
Forward Motion
It’s always time
<

<
p style=”font-family:"”>To step away from my past
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Into my future
<
p style=”font-family:"”>As the present fades
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Into dust
