Ben Jonson once said
Time is an old, bald cheater.
I think he was right

I hit a deer

Windshield wipers smear
blood like a red carpet. She
limps away, gasping.

Emojis are fun,
But use them responsibly,
Unlike the movie

Went to the ocean
So immeasurably vast
Where sea and sky meet

A day at the lake
Caught some fish for my dinner
Eating well tonight

Down to the river
To cleanse my immortal soul;
Wash the world away

Out across the pond,
A flock of birds taking wing
Wishing I could fly

I sat by the stream
And nature surrounded me,
My mind wandering

Can you see it, too?
The entire universe in
A drop of water

Sweat

Encased in gleaming
weight, embedded by tired straits.
Third floor workout room.

To err is human,
But we can learn from mistakes
And not repeat them

To forgive, divine
Why hold on to resentment?
Life is far too short

The voice in my head
tells me to go out and play;
but my friends are gone.

Annoyed, it tells me
that I'm hungry and need food,
but the fridge is bare.

It says I should walk
Out the door, into the yard,
But the door is locked.

The voice is not mine,
And it's not always happy,
But I must listen.

That is the downside
Of being the avatar
In an Xbox game.

How to get everyone in a large auditorium to turn and give you disapproving glances

Pause in the music.
Whispers slip off my tongue like
snakes, echo forever.

First day of Autumn?
Surely you must be joking
It's over ninety

Sixty-one. Maine knows
its firsts, but more summer days
will sleep-walk here soon.

Another hot one,
But the leaves are still changing
Trees don't understand

Wouldn't be so bad
If we could get a little
Rain to end this drought

A cricket sings, distant lull —
Melancholic requiem
In a timeless fall.

Pressing snooze, but I'm
already in class, riding
on anticipation.

Of what? The weekend,
maybe. College is supposed
to give life purpose.

Does it? Only in
an academic sense. But
humans are social.

Slipping into a
vacation's looming promise.
Little work is done.

Rain falls with purpose
Upon the dry, thirsty earth;
A calming rhythm

Wake up sober
Can barely reach for the alarm
I gave up on one more day

Deleting Facebook
friends. Burnt bridges. Balancing
nostalgia, purpose.

"Social media"
Makes us more antisocial
Than ever before.

Just delete Facebook
From your life entirely—
You'll have more free time!

Haiku? I'll try to
Time runs like mountain lion
Slow down... catch my breath

Long days stretched out to
yawn. More food, more sleep. Would I
trade rest for purpose?

Holidays are nice,
But thoroughly exhausting!
Time to hibernate...

Cold cut coconut
Burns with fragrant aroma!
Smoked, cold cut coco

It's 1 o' clock now
And I'm writing a haiku
Wtf's my life?

Frigid and frosty
Days; counting down until the
End of one more year.

Winter here, Summer
There, but two thousand eighteen
Is coming up fast.

Where has the year gone?
Twelve months go by in a flash...
At least in hindsight.

I should listen to
My inner vision true, make
Day by day haiku

A haiku for the
Day on which it rains and snow
Falls at the same time

High above our heads,
rain became ice, chilled by hard
hearts in a torn land.

Another day gone
lacking all motivation
Huddled in my room
