june haiku two
2nd week in june 2023 - a diary in haiku

was i mean last night
sometimes i feel like i'm mean
i don't want to be
. . . [6/4/23]
. . .
there's a part of me
that's angry and wants it out
that won't always be
. . . [6/4/23]
. . .
stuffy nose and eyes
feeling a little poorly
just waking up
. . . [6/4/23]
. . .
i'm waiting to puke
bananas used to make me
not sure if still do
. . . [6/4/23]
. . .
i am gonna pop
there is so much to get at
how do we do it
. . . [6/4/23]
. . .
or is it the trick
not minding is the way through
and then sit in peace
. . . [6/4/23]
. . .
"the small details will"
but i didn't hear the rest
we are all talking
. . . [6/4/23]
. . .
no more being mad
no more being furious
that is just too much
. . . [6/4/23]
. . .
practice everywhere
bad drivers or slow service
trying to be calm
. . . [6/4/23]
. . .
the sidewalk and grass
both a place to put our feet
which one do you choose
. . . [6/4/23]
. . .
'morning birds and tea
you say good morning to me
the day starts with us
. . . [6/5/23]
. . .
meditate and breathe
these things have helped me for years
why slow my practice
. . . [6/5/23]
. . .
we just try to live
we want it to be less work
we just want to be
. . . [6/5/23]
. . .
the longer we live
are we making up more rules
or letting some go
. . . [6/5/23]
. . .
we're all writers here
i feel it's how we got here
it's on us to go
. . . [6/5/23]
. . .
what do i believe
i believe that i'm ok
i didn't used to
. . . [6/5/23]
. . .
it is so quiet
wouldn't it be great to leave
just leave from here now
. . . [6/5/23]
. . .
ok! find the good
there is totally good here
it's just my bad mood
. . . [6/5/23]
. . .
i have lots of laughs
laughs all day long with the kids
except for when not
. . . [6/5/23]
. . .
the calm in the morn'
runs up against the busy
the busy to come
. . . [6/6/23]
. . .
the words might run out
we run dry without some new
but do we need words
. . . [6/6/23]
. . .
i am so tired
i slept for so long but still
not so well i guess
. . . [6/7/23]
. . .
yesterday the ants
they had made a colony
they were in our house
. . . [6/7/23]
. . .
it was such a sight
little piles of babies
they had moved right in
. . . [6/7/23 ]
. . .
i was stunned all day
i had to get rid of them
how is that for them
. . . [6/7/23]
. . .
a little big town
little piles all around
big one kill ‘em all
. . . [6/7/23]
. . .
summer is coming
people get so excited
i will mostly work
. . . [6/7/23]
. . .
i guess most will work
that’s what we do, work work work
and then a bit more
. . . [6/7/23]
. . .
we can find a space
to maybe live around it
or better with it
. . . [6/7/23]
. . .
the air's clold out there
at least i've got warm clothes on
i am done with it
. . . [6/7/23]
. . .
maybe take some breaths
get ready for the next part
and then the next part
. . . [6/7/23]
. . .
some dreams we don't like
some we love and want to stay
but real they are not
. . . [6/8/23]
. . .
come and sit with me
we'll just sit here for a while
and then get to it
. . . [6/8/23]
. . .
we are all different
but there is a lot of same
just enough of both?
. . . [6/8/23]
. . .
how do we know true
how can we really know this
can we just feel it
. . . [6/8/23]
. . .
fran l. says that we
don't choose the people we love
that happens to us
. . . [6/8/23]
. . .
baby birds are born
in the side of the house there
so we have babies
. . . [6/8/23]
. . .
dad is gettting worse
it's age or the medicine
or a bit of both
. . . [6/8/23]
. . .
not sure how mom is
i don't talk to either much
never great with phones
. . . [6/8/23]
. . .
i had 2, now 1
it's funny how we choose things
we say "yes," then "no"
. . . [6/8/23]
. . .
what can i say now
to myself and to you all
i should do something
. . . [6/9/23]
. . .
i feel guilt but don't
i am aware but avoid
but try to be good
. . . [6/9/23]
. . .
can we be and not
play a part and disappear
i think we must choose
. . . [6/9/23]
. . .
i'm glad it's friday
defintely need a break
some space from people
. . . [6/9/23]
. . .
we talk all day long
every hour so much talk
how did i choose this
. . . [6/9/23]
. . .
the topic is good
that is why i chose it, see
but it is a lot
. . . [6/9/23]
. . .
a little visit
just a hang out, no big thing
that would be just fine
. . . [6/10/23]
. . .
hurry, let's get there
let's try to get there right now
but you can't rush it
. . . [6/10/23]
. . .
now there are fruit flies
ants and fruit flies and those birds
oh my goodness, house
. . . [6/10/23]
. . .
