You are what you want.
With discipline, change desires,
become something else.

Everything you think
is just as real as you make
it. Focus on dreams.

Drink more water, sleep well, and if you want friends, be a friend.

Got myself a job
In the heat, moving boulders
down in Florida

Heat exhaustion, it
seems, is a real danger here...
Just trust me on this.

Yesterday was this
year's first ninety-plus weather.
I shouldn't complain.

It is time to quit.
Although I dislike quitting,
It is apparent

This place I work at
Is doing seriously
unsafe shit each day.

With no insurance,
and accidents in the wings,
It is the best choice.

Insidious is
danger when it hides under
money's promises.

Exercising Again

Twenty-five pounds, and
yet the weight of idle time
is much heavier.

Write a good haiku
I dont think this i can do
But I'll try it once

Dirt mud earth soil dust
Earth has many names we give
But home is the best

The simmering sun
Hides behind layers of gray
Dark, dreary and cold

Great! I kept it up
for around 2 years, but then
others stopped posting.

It can be hard to
stay inspired when you're all
alone in the thread.

Now I don't post once
a day, but I still love the
format of haikus.

Alone in the dark
Writing each day for two years
Is no easy task!

They certainly have
A fascinating format,
These three five three bits

Peppermint tea today.

Lest you should tire, think
not of me. For I bowed to
calm in privacy.

Solitudes bring peace,
yet there are still noisy cars
of confounding thoughts.

That is true! Within
The oasis of silence
Inspiration dwells

In the dark of night
I write my greatest poems
Far from prying eyes

The highway of life
Keeps going and going and
Suddenly it's over

I could not just write one
Haiku today, so it seems
There are too many

Just lime water today

Panic Mode

Efficiency is
a habit of those who have
no motivation.

Writing a haiku...
Is this procrastination?
All days feel the same.

Efficiency is
Hard to find when you never
Slow down and rest up!

The faster you go
The slower it gets, until you
Are inefficient

What is bliss? A little,
A waiver to live in the
Small moments you throw
