Days form a pattern

Of what can and cannot be

Step outside to shape

1,090

I need my own space

But more than that need something

Productive to do

1,089

Rewriting because

You think it needs to be done

Not because you know

1,088

Only two days old

No more posting snow in spring

Is fresher better?

1,087

A wonderful thing

A need and an outlet for

Creativity

1,086

Tell it like it is

Just don’t let them know that you

Keep making it up

1,085

Who’s right and who’s wrong?

It matters less than you think

Cut a deal; move on

1,084

They want you to bleed

Sacrifice yourself for them

Choose another path

1,083

A job well done is

A joy itself, but still we

Seek other rewards

1,082

It takes courage to

Act without knowing the end

If not you, then who?

1,081

We’re all just dancing

Some more graceful than others

But it’s the same tune

1,080

Everybody wants

Something. Your problem is you

Don’t know what you want

1,079

Not caring about

My diet and exercise

Fatter by the day

1,078

Not writing as much

Still inspired but held down

By obscurity

1,077

Never understood

Why people think they’re cool

Look in the mirror

1,076

Keep writing haiku

Just a drop in the ocean

But one with rewards

1,075

What helps you focus?

A plate that’s too full and a

Life full of promise

1,074

Distractions are good

Lose yourself and your worries

But not forever

1,073

Out of the office

Things seem less pressing. I’ll get

It done when I can

1,072

Can’t work and can’t sleep

Can only read for so long

Just sit and zone out

1,071

Strong and in control

How do you maintain it when

Chaos reigns supreme?

1,070

Have to deal with it

That is what they pay you for

Do it without stress

1,069

We all want to be

Something we can never be

Plight of the conscious

1,068

Same kind of stories

Theirs are published; yours are not

Fame comes when you’re dead

1,067

Don’t have to respond

There’s always a price to pay

But you can ignore

1,066

Remain calm inside

While the world storms around you

Only way to win

1,065

Dancing and shaking

Quivering with God’s power

Without or within?

1,064

Can’t see eye to eye

Then find a way to make peace

And move to what’s next

1,063

Don’t assume what’s wrong

Ask before you accuse them

Treat them like people

1,062

Refuse to believe

That I’m causing such trauma

Elsewise I’d go mad
