Two hundred haikus
Three thousand four hundred beats
Is there any truth?

Just try to stay calm
Act serious and shoot straight
And stick to the facts

That helps me remember a
Simpler time and place

Get up, get out, get things done
Beats doing nothing

Work can be easy
When you set your mind to it
Almost can be fun

Answer used to come easy
Now no longer sure

Coffee and fast Internet
Home away from home

Artists pursue truth
Not so others can see, but
To quench their own thirst

Hearts torn to hear them suffer
Brain just needs to sleep

Go to Mexico
Get your pills and don’t get sick
Do what must be done

To age twelve than to age two

A good day at work
Checking boxes off my list
Words of thanks and praise

Leading in a world
That changes its shape each day
Like riding a wave

All the signs are there
Pointing the same direction
Start my own movement

Awful night time thoughts
Fears descend while sleep eludes
Still must face the day

Please stop pretending
That I am blocking your way
You decide your fate

A day for looking forward
Break old traditions

Game of world conquest
Place, attack and fortify
Or just turn in cards

New Year’s Eve party
Mix of old friends and strangers
Not sure which are which

Behind flavored frothy drinks?
I just want coffee

A day filled with fun
At the Blue Harbor Resort
Red, blue and green slides

She takes so much time
Sleeping late and getting dressed
The day is half gone

If it would happen again?
Less worry, more joy

Your life and its direction
Change it if you can

Boys like to play fight
We’re the good guys; you’re the bad
What does it teach them?

Clean out the gutters
Bail out the crock and other
Joys of owning home
