haiku september three
some more september 2023 in haiku
cool and rainy morn'
we were gonna play tennis
we'll go to breakfast
. . . [9/10/23]
. . .
he sounds like he's here
coughing inside of our house
it's like he's right here
. . . [9/11/23]
. . .
it's cool but it's hot
i can feel the weight of heat
i prefer the heat
. . . [9/11/23]
. . .
it's nine eleven
we stood still or ran that day
holy shit that day
. . . [9/11/23]
. . .
you know where you were
you know before and after
even if not near
. . . [9/11/23]
. . .
i always transgress
i'll have a drink or stay up
it never feels good
. . . [9/12/23]
. . .
it's time to free me
it's time to really know it
i know what to do
. . . [9/12/23]
. . .
drinking is poison
and i feel it more and more
it's not good for me
. . . [9/12/23]
. . .
even a little
changes my whole perspective
just a little sad
. . . [9/12/23]
. . .
please help me through this
please help me have some grace here
just trust youself
. . . [9/12/23]
. . .
you have all you need
no need to look for more
now get rid of some
. . . [9/12/23]
. . .
i am lost again
maybe this isn't lost though
maybe this is found
. . . [9/12/23]
. . .
morning sit is best
the quiet, the birds, the air
what's next is later
. . . [9/13/23]
. . .
put forth your effort
or you don't get to say much
do some to say more
. . . [9/14/23]
. . .
you've got to do some
something to at least get by
but what if i don't
. . . [9/14/23]
. . .
my default is not
maybe that's a defense mech
or maybe it's just true
. . . [9/14/23]
. . .
what if you just don't
what if we all just don't, huh
then what will happen
. . . [9/14/23]
. . .
i have been chosen
finally, a piece of art
feels nice to get "yes"
. . . [9/14/23]
. . .
saturday is good
i'm off, and he's off, that's good
we'll go play tennis
. . . [9/16/23]
. . .
what do you do, off?
is it a good thing for you?
i hope it is good
. . . [9/16/23]
. . .
ok! let's go play
it really is just some play
i do like to laze
. . . [9/16/23]
. . .
. . .
this week feels like years ago. strange how that can happen. life goes on as it goes. i am good. chugging along. making art. writing. looking for different day job. hoping for good things for all. peace. quiet. what you like, i hope you get. living is weird. strange. fun. hectic. aggrivating. trying. so i try. for peace. to let go. to just address and move forward. with grace. peace. fun. some joy.
thanks for reading! -- kory
