Response to A Haiku a Day Jan 29, 2019


This four-day weekend

Is unexpected, but the

Weather demands it.


We've got the coldest

Temperatures in twenty

Years, and tons of snow.


Let me know if you

Would like some; we have plenty

To spare. Take your fill.


Everything that can

Close, is closed. Schools, businesses,

Churches...all that jazz.


The great white hell has

Swallowed us whole, and Wednesday

Will be colder still.


*gulping hot tea*

Why can't I quit this

Why can't I just tell you no

I am so obsessed


I think I am free

Then someone brings another

I can't quit king cake


*eats king cake*


I CANT STOP EATING KING CAKE I HAVE NO SELF CONTROL

I'm holding my breath

I do not know it it's safe

Waiting to exhale


I do not know yet

If I am finally free

This nightmare over


*sips water*

The pain is constant

Pulsing throbbing in my head

Greets me when I wake


*sips coke*


I have a migraine

Head stuck in a vice?

That doesn't feel very nice.

The postman rings twice.


My own migraines—whoa!

They come with visual snow.

You digging my flow?


Silence, darkness, rest...

Most assuredly the best.

Put them to the test.


Migraine, migraine, go away. Don't come back another day.

Unfortunately

Work has consumed me

Staying too busy


*sips quickly*


I had to go to work on a Saturday

Unending hunger

I cannot stop thinking of

Count each calorie


*sips water sadly*


I'm on a diet but I'm so hungry

Feet feeling heavy

Entire body dragging

Slowly crawling in


*exhausted sip*


Where @cyberdevil ???

Disappearances!

Sudden and unexpected.

What do they portend?


*sipping thoughtfully*


It's just like a @Cyberdevil to hide...not unlike the ghost in the machine.

Cyberdevil's been

A week in Budapest? Yes!

The city of two


Where the Citadel

Rises high above castles,

A King for the view.


Tried some Dogfish, rare,

They only have it there, but

Barely. And warm baths.


Old trains, terrain that

Is patched with a thatch-work of

Days now passed, alas


It's one more country,

To mark off the atlas then

Sit back and relax


Very nice trip though. Sipped some interesting dragon fruit juice and mysterious herbal tea.

Whiskers on a cat,

Amusing as they seem as

They sit there and dream


Nothing on their mind

No burdens, observing a

Bird there as it glides


Wish I could be at peace as

Easily, the deepest sleep,

While wide awake. Dreams.

Sky gray and dreary

Clouds suffocating the sun

Ready for summer

Faster and faster

Taking a deep breath to calm

Not any slower


Sometimes there is pain

Always uncomfortable

Normal Monday night


* takes an unsteady sip*

Blisters, been too long!

Walk on metaphoricly,

Need to walk is strong.


Kneed my knees and feel

A breeze that sweeps high over

Darkened seas and steel.


Driven by the gale

By gasoline not wheels it

Leaves a foamy trail

How I have missed you

You fill my soul with sweet joy

Tonight you are mine


*sips once*


I'm baking a cake tonight :-)

Might it be the king?

Of cakes, oh woes! No dose is

Too great of such sin

Validating your

Admiration is the way

Love reciprocates.


Everyone should feel

Needed and desired before

They let someone in.


Invitations are

Necessary before the

Ecstasy begins.

How much I appreciate

The road is long and

Won't last forever yet the

Strong can stand the tide


The rock and roll and

Cliffs of Dover, no matter

Color. Coal or sand.


Netflix is back by

Popular demand... guess it

Never really left

Some things on my mind

Today, I think I'll post a quick one,

Keep on keeping sane


BBS Signature

Response to A Haiku a Day Feb 19, 2019


Sanity you seek?

Perhaps this is not the place,

But I wish you luck.

Response to A Haiku a Day Feb 20, 2019


Sanity I find,

When I dwell with the insane.

Give me peace of mind

Money or your life

happiness on loan to time

Response to A Haiku a Day Feb 24, 2019


Best not call collect,

Or someone might call on you,

To collect your debt

I want to haiku,

But nothing's coming to mind...

Or maybe too much.
