haiku habit firmly in place; first week in may 2023 in haiku
1 and 2 are lost

let's get to it now
. . . [6/1/23]
. . .
do you like to sit
in the quiet of the air
i do, very much
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
dry air blowing 'round
my legs up under blanket
i'm warm enough now
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
that green is real good
it suits the kitchen real well
we did a good job
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
we'll fix the bathroom
that has to be nearly next
then we can be free
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
being stuck from a
young age is not quite helpful
to anybody
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
listen to the wind
lots of things live there to hear
so listen to it
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
sit in the chair now
please sit down in that chair now
and sit in that chair
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
do you think you can
be happy in any way
while you're here with me
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
what does the tea say
it says, "i'm here in this cup,
what would you like, sir?"
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
food and food all day
it can get sort of boring
not for all i guess
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
the blanket is warm
and i sit here quite cozy
this is a good place
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
wednesday is today
and thursday is tomorrow
friday will be next
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
put head on pillow
it's a sign that day is done
take a good rest now
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
the windows are shut
it's cold again out there now
the heat is back on
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
will i paint or draw
will i build or do the next
steps are always there
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
what if i told you
yes, this is all make believe
would you change a thing
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
spiders are funny
they have so many darn legs
and they still can't talk
. . . [5/3/23]
we would love a dog
we'll wait 'til we have a yard
and maybe not then
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
how old are you now
haze's birthday is this month
what to do for him
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
it's cold again now
and it sure did rain last night
the lock's not working
. . . [5/4/23]
. . .
tea is a-steeping
i'll take a warm drink, thank you
then sit and make art
. . . [5/4/23]
. . .
haze is feeling sick
seems still is from yesterday
better soon, i hope
. . . [5/4/23]
. . .
wet outside from rain
birds are chirping nice and loud
tea pot just went off
. . . [5/4/23]
. . .
i itch and i itch
i'm not really sure from what
probably sugar
. . . [5/4/23]
. . .
it's been going on
for years i'm itching like this
i'll need different help
. . . [5/4/23]
. . .
thursday now and fri
day tomorrow, thank goodness
it's nice when it comes
. . . [5/4/23]
. . .
heater is rat'lin'
just to take the edge off here
when will it warm up
. . . [5/4/23]
. . .
if water's not wet
and the wind never blows now
would this still be life
. . . [5/5/23]
. . .
on the couch again
couches didn't used to be
or maybe first thing
. . . [5/5/23]
. . .
pillow or blanket
which would you choose if just one
i'd pick the blanket
. . . [5/5/23]
. . .
is a haiku true
if it's not about weather
is it just words then
. . . [5/5/23]
. . .
the phone sits right there
it can just sit anywhere now
it's more than a phone
. . . [5/5/23]
. . .
pitter pitter pit
pat pat pitter patter pat
pitter patter pit
. . . [5/5/23]
. . .
the rain in spain is
here for now and forever
i hope we like it
. . . [5/5/23]
. . .
do you want a dog
yes, but we gots to have space
or it will be cramped
. . . [5/5/23]
. . .
sitting in chairs now
out in the sun with people
outside at market
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
sunny, sunny, warm
it's saturday and it's great
i'll do what i want
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
"vamos" she said then
and the older woman stood up
they left the market
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
does she keep her safe
is she supposed to
i hope she's ok
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk,
talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
too many words to
say what we mean; we try to
get our thoughts across
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
these guys are talking
about murder on the train
while they try to eat
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
3 are sitting there
and 2 are sitting right there
we are in the sun
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
everybody eats
breakfast is on the menu
we've not eaten yet
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
all about the news
and there they are just eating
the birds just walk by
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
and now it's cool out
i'll keep my sweatshirt off though
the sun will come back
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
and the sun is back
it's laying on this page here
feels so good to me
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
he plays on the step
it's such a good place to play
live music each day
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
he plays guitar there
just right over there he plays
i love to be here
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
back on the couch now
it's like a sort of touch base
maybe this is next
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
i painted paper
i carve the blocks then i stamp
i love it so much
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
