Writing can be fun
But only when you become
Every character

Fruitless exercise
It wastes your time and can not
Advance objectives

Thursday, December 29, 2011

1,120

Start a new habit
Change not just the things you do
But the way you think

Christmas time is here
Stubbornness and arguments
Can’t be held in check

Tuesday, December 27, 2011

1,118

What do you say when
You have nothing to say and
They expect wisdom?

Monday, December 26, 2011

1,117

Don’t call it quitting
Call it moving on or just
Repositioning

1,116

Sick on Christmas Day
It’s all a dizzying blur
More so than normal

Saturday, December 24, 2011

1,115

I lack empathy
But I am not a monster
I will stand and fight

Friday, December 23, 2011

1,114

Two halves are merging
It’s only a shock because
One half was hidden

Thursday, December 22, 2011

1,113

State things boldly and
Don’t shy away. You’ll make more
Friends than enemies

They just can’t sit still
The music soars and they drop
Papers on the floor

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

1,111

If you burn your bridges
You must keep moving forward
That’s not always bad

Monday, December 19, 2011

1,110

Tell it like it is
And someone will disagree
Truth is hard to see

Holiday concerts
Drums from Ghana paired with slow
Classical music

Saturday, December 17, 2011

1,108

Disrupt my routine
And I’m off kilter all day
That’s both good and bad

Friday, December 16, 2011

1,107

You can’t change yourself
What was it that made you think
You could change others?

Thursday, December 15, 2011

1,106

Take time out and sit
By the fire with a good book
You won’t regret it

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

1,105

That sinking feeling
Comes like clockwork whenever
You must face your fear

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

1,104

They will challenge you
And their ideas will seem right
It doesn’t mean you’re wrong

Monday, December 12, 2011

1,103

Work at my own pace
Things get done and I surpass
All expectations

Sunday, December 11, 2011

1,102

Another trip and
Another spotlight on me
Will I rise or fall?

Saturday, December 10, 2011

1,101

It does not make sense
No matter how long you look
It won’t become clear

Friday, December 9, 2011

1,100

I want to feel new
Yesterday was someone else
Tomorrow’s the dream

Putting up the tree
Is more fun when you let go
And let them do it

Wednesday, December 7, 2011

1,098

Why must you argue?
Negotiate on each task?
Just do what I say

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

1,097

Get up and get out
Be focused and productive
Always more to do

Monday, December 5, 2011

1,096

Just want to zone out
Chasing too many wins means
They lose their appeal

Sunday, December 4, 2011

1,095

They are not like you
Their heads are down; yours is up
You see what they can’t

Saturday, December 3, 2011

1,094

Another day out
And away from the office
Do less but be more

Friday, December 2, 2011

1,093

Must write one each day
Don’t fret if it’s good or bad
Just force it on out

Thursday, December 1, 2011

1,092

Another sleepless
Night thinking about work and
Hearing my spouse snore
