haiku july three
third week of july 2023 in haiku

oh it's a nice day
not too hot and not too cool
i'd say it's just right
. . . [7/16/23]
. . .
it's grey and lovely
and it's pretty calm out there
lovely day to beach
. . . [7/16/23]
. . .
it comes up higher
higher than i though it would
and there are dolphins
. . . [7/16/23]
. . .
couldn't be better
this air, this view, this sitting
this is what i want
. . . [7/16/23]
. . .
i want it but don't
i try hard but then i stop
i just want to be
. . . [7/16/23]
. . .
all trying is stress
even when we enjoy it
how to know what's real
. . . [7/16/23]
. . .
go the way you want
even if just a little
still be on the right path
. . . [7/16/23]
. . .
i feel pretty good
but i still don't want to go
got to fix that part
. . . [7/17/23]
. . .
the air feels good - hot
it's a lot hotter for some
i guess i'll take this
. . . [7/17/23]
. . .
why do i do it
pick at myself like i do
where does it come from
. . . [7/17/23]
. . .
bad leadership shows
it is felt no matter what
it's in everything
. . . [7/18/23]
. . .
the air hot and thick
it will be hotter today
good luck to us all
. . . [7/18/23]
. . .
always my belly
every morning a little
no it isn't that
. . . [7/18/23]
. . .
we'll do another
most will do another day
but some, they will not
. . . [7/18/23]
. . .
and i have covid
and it was a total shock
thought it was ennui
. . . [7/19/23]
. . .
now there are bees here
they are probably wasps though
living in house too
. . . [7/20/23]
. . .
bees and birds and ants
classics of our life stories
the gang is all here
. . . [7/20/23]
. . .
we sit at the sea
one of our fav'rit places
lovely thursday morn'
. . . [7/20/23]
. . .
i have a sickness
sublte as it is, it is
it will be gone soon
. . . [7/20/23]
. . .
so i take a rest
i relax at home and sea
i will rest now
. . . [7/20/23]
. . .
and what of after
what will i do differently
each phase a checkpoint
. . . [7/20/23]
. . .
a fight to just be
a fight you say, but why fight
how 'bout just be now
. . . [7/20/23]
. . .
now a bit of fog
the breeze is cooler now too
to go in or no
. . . [7/2023]
. . .
and now, it is hot
still cloudly but the sun's here
just a bit of breeze
. . . [7/20/23]
. . .
oh! that sand is hot
you can build up resistance
but oh! that is hot
. . . [7/20/23]
. . .
i am so tired
do, tired, do, tired, do
so now i'll just sit
. . . [7/21/23]
. . .
i've just had covid
2nd time and not as bad
close to done, tired
. . . [7/21/23]
. . .
i sit here better
i feel like there's no sick left
and so, back to it
. . . [7/22/23]
. . .
i write about this
and i write about that too
seeing patterns here
. . . [7/22/23]
. . .
are my dots just that
there to help me recognize
the patterns within
. . . [7/22/23]
. . .
why are you yelling
sometimes talking so loudly
i am so precious
. . . [7/22/23]
. . .
i sit in this place
my space, my hole & corner
so good to have this
. . . [7/22/23]
. . .
you've got to hold on
loosely, no matter what's it
even with a saw
. . . [7/22/23]
. . .
. . .
i'm in a season of slow or something - which feels funny to say bc i don't really have any "fast" seasons. but i'm feeling something. a shift? a differnet sort of wonder? or was it just bc covid was in there and that changes some time and space sometimes? i don't know. i had 5 days off in a row - sometimes that's enough -- probably that's always enough! to make things feel a bit strange. i've loved it. we'll see though, as time keeps ticking on. we keep moving. going. doing or not doing, there is movemnt.
thanks for reading! -- kory
