2010-03-13T18:04:00.000-08:00

About to head South
Hoping to pick up some work
Extra in movies?

2010-03-09T16:26:00.001-08:00

I'm slacking too much
It's time to get off my ass
And start rocking out.

2009-10-08T11:08:00.000-07:00

I forgot my stuff
So I'm unprepared today
How will I take notes?

2009-10-06T17:46:00.000-07:00

Just put it out there
Too many times you almost
Don't say anything.

2009-09-18T12:14:00.000-07:00

Forced yourself to say
The words on your mind. It will
All work out somehow.

2009-09-09T18:23:00.000-07:00

She sits next to you
There's things that you want to say
But you know you won't.

2009-08-30T01:38:00.000-07:00

Lovely turquoise dress
You're not as drunk as she is
But you're getting there.

2009-07-28T22:30:00.000-07:00

The moon's my lover
I find her wondrous pale light
Invigorating.

2009-06-25T06:27:00.000-07:00

True Super Heroes
Have Seventeen-Syllable
Names. Haiku Hero

2009-05-29T15:21:00.001-07:00

Haiku for the month
I almost let it go by
Without writing one

2009-04-23T00:44:00.000-07:00

Insurmountable
Maybe it isn't, but I
Don't know if I can.

2009-04-21T23:48:00.000-07:00

It's amazing how
Much time I can completely
Waste doing nothing.

2009-04-07T02:03:00.000-07:00

A hand reaches out
Somehow I've caught it, fall stopped
I just might make it.

2009-04-02T23:59:00.000-07:00

And then I fell short
I didn't prepare myself
Let it slip away.

Can't happen again
Can't afford to fail again
Next time, I'll make it.

2009-03-30T21:24:00.000-07:00

An update for march
Don't want my blog too dusty
Occasional 'ku.

2009-02-19T23:17:00.000-08:00

My open mic night
At Has Beans observations
Written in haiku

Lyrical cheat sheet
Sometimes these things'll happen
Just makes it more fun

The bass is silly
You can't play much on your own
Back up instrument.

Rant on Michael Phelps:
You made some really good points.
Where is the blowhole?

Hand washing delay
I will wholly support this
Clean hands: a good thing.

The wait is worth it
She has a beautiful voice
Powerful lyrics

Love the folk music
Guitar and harmonica
They make lovely sounds

There's something soothing
About listening to them
Evokes happiness

Guy does some cool stuff
A human didgeridoo
Really neat music

Now Serenity
Not the ship, but a band name
Love the drum playing

I love musicians
Whose instruments are exten-
sions of their bodies

True didgeridoo
Well, maybe it's PVC
But it's still badass

Have a tribal sound
Combine didgeridoo, flute
Really beautiful

Somber mandolin
It makes beautiful music
But it sounds so sad

Shaking as he goes
Are you showing us your soul?
That why you're nervous?

You're vulnerable
But with poetry that's good
The way it should be

He's captivating
He's an excellent speaker
Got me riveted

Not sure how I feel
Step up as an accuser
You're just lashing out.

Mimicry is fun
Especially when it's good
I can't stop laughing.

Envelope Peasant
Reminds me of Matt and Kim
Well, just Matt I guess.

Riding the keyboard
This guy is ridiculous
I freakin' love it.

Mellow followup
Not nearly as hyper
Nice and relaxing.

Love your guitar work
Very inventive playing
Using the whole thing

2008-12-22T04:54:00.001-08:00

Emo hair in face
One eye covered so you can
Save on eyeliner.

2008-12-03T22:36:00.001-08:00

Naked babies: cute.
Naked animals: still cute.
Me naked? Jail time.

2008-11-30T15:11:00.000-08:00

I liked my goatee
'Twas devilish and charming
At least I thought so.

2008-11-26T02:09:00.000-08:00

Ah, the danish tray
A midnight delicacy
Sadly, they are gone.

2008-11-14T15:02:00.000-08:00

Where can I find it?
No matter how hard I look
It still eludes me.

2008-11-11T16:23:00.000-08:00

I should change that line
"Updated frequently." Ha!
Lies, I tell you. Lies.

2008-11-06T21:33:00.000-08:00

Just so you know I've
Neither gone nor forgotten
I still love haikus.

2008-06-10T01:30:00.000-07:00

The problem is change
I've moved, my sleep cycle's off
My routine is screwed.

2008-06-09T14:06:00.001-07:00

Keep the average
I'll make a year's worth of 'kus
Going daily failed.

2008-06-09T13:35:00.000-07:00

I missed another
I feel like I've failed you all
Not quite excellence.

2008-06-07T00:01:00.000-07:00

Almost a full day
Without any internet
Log on to update.

2008-06-06T22:37:00.000-07:00

Someone said squirrels
Are more plentiful up here
I just don't see them.

2008-06-05T02:33:00.000-07:00

Fewer squirrels here
Sure, I'll see rabbits and deer
Squirrels? Not so much.

2008-06-04T01:06:00.000-07:00

Filling in at work
Sure, I'm getting some more time
But it means I'm there.

2008-06-03T23:37:00.000-07:00

Impetuous, eh?
I'll have to look that word up
It's not what I thought.

2008-06-02T23:54:00.000-07:00

Update just in time
I should be trying harder
To update sooner.

2008-06-01T22:39:00.000-07:00

Fight stereotypes
Some of them can be funny
But really, they're bad.

2008-05-31T06:42:00.001-07:00

Sure, you won that one
But we'll be ready next time
We'll stop your combo.

2008-05-30T23:48:00.000-07:00

Going infinite
It can be quite frustrating
When we're not ready.

2008-05-29T15:22:00.000-07:00

Dibs has a limit
You can't just call it and wait
For thirty-five years.

2008-05-28T12:22:00.000-07:00

Wanted to steal it
The dresser sat there for weeks
But someone had dibs.

2008-05-27T22:43:00.000-07:00

Don't like commuting
Thirty minute drives are lame
Uses too much gas.

2008-05-26T00:01:00.000-07:00

Not for the glory
Okay, it's about glory
Increased vocab? Ha!

2008-05-25T23:46:00.001-07:00

I play some scrabble
Kick around my coworker
He doesn't do well.

2008-05-24T21:45:00.000-07:00

Slacking off at work
More like all my work is done
So, time for haikus.

2008-05-23T23:34:00.000-07:00

Often look surprised
Or dazed in the mugshots. Why?
You forgot that part?

2008-05-22T03:03:00.001-07:00

A crack of the whip
And donning the fedora
Makes you a legend.

2008-05-21T23:20:00.000-07:00

An early midnight
But they release on thursday
We see it tonight!

2008-05-20T23:47:00.000-07:00

I'm sick of this place
Every day it's more tense
Wish things were nicer.

2008-05-19T17:57:00.000-07:00

Moral dilemma
Professionally, it's right
It's still annoying.

2008-05-18T18:03:00.000-07:00

Let loose with your best
It's the only way to go
Dedicate yourself.

2008-05-17T15:45:00.000-07:00

I'll be moving soon
Have lots of cleaning to do
And I hate cleaning.

2008-05-16T03:10:00.001-07:00

A disappointment
It was pretty good, mostly
Heavy-handed end.

2008-05-15T23:15:00.000-07:00

More midnight movies
Have to keep the streak alive
This one will make four.

2008-05-14T22:55:00.000-07:00

The jaws of defeat?
Ha! I'll rip them wide open
And grasp what I please.

2008-05-13T00:05:00.001-07:00

That's right, I'm a cheat.
I'm using apostrophes
To shorten my words.

2008-05-12T23:48:00.000-07:00

Making excuses
You can't get ev'rything right
I'm cheating again.

2008-05-11T13:58:00.000-07:00

Just throw your hands out
Reach into the air and fly
The wind will take you.

2008-05-10T16:56:00.000-07:00

Late night yet again
When will I learn not to stay
Up beyond the dawn?

2008-05-09T03:10:00.001-07:00

Midnight movies rock
Nothing like staying up late
To see the film first.

2008-05-08T00:56:00.001-07:00

Distractions arise
They pull you away from things
Can't seem to get back.

2008-05-07T01:04:00.000-07:00

Don't let the games win
Sleep is far more important
Set priorities.

2008-05-06T01:02:00.000-07:00

It only takes one
Mistake to send you spinning
Life out of your hands.

2008-05-05T00:38:00.000-07:00

You had to trip him
A penalty would end it
And that's what you got.

2008-05-04T21:35:00.000-07:00

Take a swing, slugger
Out of the park or ground ball
It's all for the team.

2008-05-03T16:43:00.000-07:00

Permanence is best
If it sticks around, it wins
Watch it all pile up.

2008-05-02T21:32:00.000-07:00

Recurring bad guys
Imprisonment doesn't work
So take the next step.

2008-05-01T00:28:00.001-07:00

I made some mistakes
Said some things that I shouldn't.
Can you forgive me?

2008-04-30T21:30:00.000-07:00

Can you find your feet?
Or will you lay there, dizzy
Unable to move.

2008-04-29T17:17:00.001-07:00

"Shout it to the hills"
What if there aren't any hills?
Have to shout louder?

2008-04-28T21:11:00.000-07:00

It's greed that leads them
They're dragged down by the money
Can't beat the system.

2008-04-27T17:47:00.000-07:00

Why can't you do it?
We shouldn't be doing it
It's your job, you know.

2008-04-26T15:23:00.000-07:00

Sleep in Saturdays
Too, but since I'm up so late
I don't think it counts.

2008-04-25T13:35:00.000-07:00

Fridays I sleep in
In the hopes that I catch up
On what I have missed.

2008-04-24T01:40:00.000-07:00

All life's great questions
Are not for me to answer
I just write haikus.

2008-04-23T00:15:00.000-07:00

Philosophers muse
Day after bright sunny day
I'd rather have fun.

2008-04-22T00:04:00.001-07:00

Analyzing life
Only leads to more questions
Just go out and live.

2008-04-21T00:01:00.000-07:00

Keep digging deeper
Maybe you'll find what you seek
Or futility.

2008-04-20T17:18:00.000-07:00

I love the moments
When nobody gets the joke
But then it hits them.

2008-04-19T20:51:00.000-07:00

Almost upsetting
The way things come together
I should start planning.

2008-04-18T16:35:00.000-07:00

I hope that's okay
Just because I quote myself
Doesn't make me bad.

2008-04-17T19:11:00.000-07:00

Um, I made that up
But I guess I'm somebody
So it still counts, right?

2008-04-16T13:43:00.000-07:00

Somebody once said
That haikus are good for you
Healthy poetry.

2008-04-15T15:46:00.001-07:00

What to do after
The sunburn has taken you?
I prefer aloe.

2008-04-14T00:20:00.000-07:00

Summer is coming
So I recommend sunscreen
Because sunburn sucks.

2008-04-13T01:49:00.000-07:00

Why's popcorn awesome?
Even stale popcorn tastes great
What more do you need?

2008-04-12T14:28:00.000-07:00

My definition
Of absolute awesomeness:
Popcorn, friends, movies.

2008-04-11T13:55:00.000-07:00

Inimitable
A way of haiku so strange
No one copies it.

2008-04-10T15:34:00.000-07:00

I hate the nightmares
How am I supposed to sleep
Fleeing from zombies?

2008-04-09T00:17:00.000-07:00

It's getting to me
This job is driving me nuts
Gotta keep going.

2008-04-08T00:33:00.000-07:00

Honor in fighting?
Just because we've fought for years
It's a noble cause?

2008-04-07T00:26:00.000-07:00

Fight or flight response
Adrenaline rushes in
No shame in running.

2008-04-06T00:57:00.000-07:00

With just a side step
You slide away from danger
Easily dodging.

2008-04-05T00:06:00.001-07:00

We're taking this out
There'll be haikus out there
Haikus all over!

2008-04-04T02:03:00.000-07:00

I've never done that
Word extension for effect
It's a bit silly.

2008-04-03T00:27:00.000-07:00

When the haikus make
Increasing lines like stairsteps
I really like thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

2008-04-02T00:30:00.000-07:00

I prefer to mix
Mono-poly-syllabic
That's the way to go.

2008-04-01T00:37:00.000-07:00

Monosyllabic
Words can also work out well.
That's one syllable.

2008-03-31T23:28:00.000-07:00

Five syllable words
Can make for some sweet haikus
Polysyllabic.

2008-03-30T01:11:00.000-07:00

When I go to bed
Sometimes I lie there for days
Feels like that at least.

2008-03-29T06:31:00.000-07:00

I can't explain it
But still I stay up so late
Why won't I just sleep?

2008-03-28T13:24:00.000-07:00

O pants, where art thou?
Were you lost in adventure
Stolen by wenches?

2008-03-27T00:04:00.000-07:00

It's ridiculous
The amount of blind hatred
Get over yourselves.

2008-03-26T01:23:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I wonder
Did samurai poets have
Haiku katanas?
