10/6
Oh, haikus, haikus,
Oh, how I love and loathe you,
Oh, haikus, haikus.
10/7
Like Rebecca Black
Would say, “It’s Friday, Friday”
Thank god it’s Friday.
10/8
Star night, star bright. I
Can’t see any stars tonight.
But never is it dark.
10/9
People on the train
Only one inch away, yet
So very apart
10/10
The anxiety
You get when midterms arrive
Inexplicable.
10/11
Staring at the middle
Of nowhere, trying to find
Something worthwhile
10/12
Oh, so cold in the
Morning, then warm when it’s night
Is this bipolar?
10/13/11
Dancing and movement,
Music and body expression,
Night and drizzling rain.
10/14/11
Wind passing through me
Cold rain caressing my face
Night to remember
10/15/11
Future lies before me
So intangible that I
Can’t help but be scared.
10/16/11
Pressure that I give
Myself threatens to break me
When I’m not looking.
10/17/11
It’s a cold morning
Some ask me how I survive
Without some coffee
10/18/11
Train rocks and cradles
Me back and forth, lulling me
To peaceful slumber.
10/19/11
Thirst overwhelms me
Water can pacify me
So that I can be.
10/20/11
Seeing familiar faces
Faces of my family
Warms my happy heart.
10/21/11
Friday brings on the
End of a past week and a
Glimmer of the next.
10/22/11
Walking home alone
Time for reflection or just
Time for nothingness.
10/23/11
Heart beats faster as
My stomach sinks-
Feeling ill.
10/24/11
I admire those
Who have the capacity
To do it all.
10/25/11
Trying to beat
Time itself. Racing, racing
To get ahead.
10/26/11
It is funny how
The person you know can so
Easily become the person you knew.
10/27/11
Struggling for some
Inspiration-
Come help me please.
10/28/11
Swiping my ID card
Got my laptop out-
I am a college kid.
10/29/11
Snow in October
Walking home, my feet are numb.
Freezing my butt off.
10/30/11
Growing up can be
So tasking-
Wish I was still a kid.
10/31/11
Halloween is here!
I’m addicted to Reese’s
Peanut Butter Cups.
11/1/11
I can’t wait until
November 11, 2011
To make a wish.
Thoughts: More recently I see a lot revolving around time and the simple act of being and how those two tie into each other. Seems like you value reflection and being (as opposed to doing), specifically in your post on the 22nd. I also notice that you write in the present for almost all your haikus. Do you write them as the ideas and experiences occur do you write them down later and just alter the tense? I find that very interesting. Regarding the idea of being, I see you mention the word “heart” in two different entries and it seems you only mention nouns in two different places with the words “heart” “rain” and “cold.” Maybe that’s too deep. Or maybe not. Who knows.
On the train, too cold
Only thinking of now, of me.
Just thinking about: be.
