weekend is ending can’t stop the passage of time sunday night sadness

just don’t have the time facing procrastination may be can’t want to

morning companion catalyst of awareness coffee the precious

worldwide pandemic sociological change who can we become

some days are murky cloudy with a chance of sleep what day is today

three decades have passed three cheers for dear old broadview our alma mater

oops I’m in bed now is it too late to haiku counting in the dark

damp yard-waste burning by oblivious neighbor our indoor smoke screen

meaningful rhythm have I numbered correctly haiku creation

working in silence break in my concentration boxer flatulence

as I shake the trees I pray there isn’t a wasp animal crossing

it’s winter againwalks were my fresh air escapethanks mother nature

tornado watchesfifteen minute snow flurrieschicago springtime

locating centeruniting mind body spiritmy meditation

fight or flight or freeze are these the only options? anxiety sucks

need supplies again shielded by a homemade mask hunter gatherer

facing a blank page possibilities loom large why’d I choose haiku?
