haiku december two
second week in december in 34 haiku
change is a-coming
'cause it's always a-coming
i'm pretty ready
. . . [12/10/23]
. . .
there's always something
you can count on that for sure
how will you react
. . . [12/10/23]
. . .
it's all reaction
more and more it seems it's true
how will i react
..............[you]
. . . [12/10/23]
. . .
response is better
reaction is less thoughtful
how will i respond
..............[you]
. . . [12/10/23]
. . .
he's worse than before
i found that out last night, wow
i'm not in the know
. . . [12/11/23]
. . .
in this quiet, sit
just sit and see what comes in
maybe really - up
. . . [12/11/23]
. . .
in this quiet, sit
sit with what comes in and up
this is you being
. . . [12/11/23]
. . .
i just want to sleep now.
i heard me, “that would be good,”
to do something else
. . . [12/11/23]
. . .
the heater's rat'ling
it's a bit cold so it's on
fear a high bill though
. . . [12/12/23]
. . .
they say he's way worse
after what seemed - way better
what will this time bring
. . . [12/12/23]
. . .
i don't need to know
i don't need to know what's next
i can just sit here
. . . [12/13/23]
. . .
the next move will come
i try to give it all space
i don't want to rush
. . . [12/13/23]
. . .
i'll start with a breath
and because of a practice,
i do this most times
. . . [12/13/23]
. . .
without a practice
i think i'd rush ev'rything
i have this practice
. . . [12/13/23]
. . .
i didn't used to
but with it all is better
or so i think so
. . . [12/13/23]
. . .
can i speak to you
who are you talking to now
not sure, i just asked
. . . [12/13/23]
. . .
practicing awe now
i'm prone to awe anyway
more deliberate now
. . . [12/13/23]
. . .
it's cold, pretty cold
cold is hard without money
how do we do this
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
we've made life so hard
i'm sure it's always been hard
our own types of hard
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
that we're alive - true
or so it seems - so we do
and what we do - live
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
how you live and i
[how i live and you]
we do these things and those things
we can't really stop
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
but we can stop, see
or at least stop in this way
but we're taught we can't
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
but it's all made up
we can do what we want when
but that's not quite true
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
but they tell us no
i think everyone says no
except some who don't
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
it's a "funny" rule
set because many would go
and peeps don't want that
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
i wouldn't do it
i already tried and "failed"
i just think it's wild
.......................[weird]
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
that we're told we can't
when we aboslutely can
funny "rule" is all
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
if it were ok
what a diff'rent world this be
to add in that choice
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
this year is ending
hard to believe, 'twenty three
it all keeps going
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
i'll make an egg - lunch
i'll get dressed then go - for work
i'll do this day - yup
. . . [12/14/23]
. . .
awe on a friday
what will be the first thing picked
how about the wind
. . . [12/15/23]
. . .
don't get stuck or caught
one person's stuck is not yours
you can both move on
. . . [12/15/23]
. . .
the wind fast and slow
brings me wild awe and fear
i'll just sit with it
. . . [12/15/23]
. . .
languages - there's awe
'round 7,000 - come on!
how awesome is that
. . . [12/16/23]
. . .
. . .
this is the time i'm in, and i'm sort of struck by it. the choices. the little things. the big things. i'm in no rush but i sort of am. i'm pulling myself back to pay attention. how do you live - any tips? i'm sort of facinated by it all - which i think is also a coping mechanism, but mabye what isn't.
thanks for reading! i hope you're well - kory
