Poetry

Why me?

Why me? Why now? Why? The answers are not for you. Why not me? Why not?

I ordered some books Now all I need is some time Or I won’t read them

Did I just forget or have I abandoned it Haiku is not dead

Eat one thing all day and it ends up on your shirt How’s that for messy?

This is backdated Don’t you like how I did that? Haiku day is saved!

What is wrong with me Don’t I know what today is It’s Haiku Tuesday ↑ That one was for free…now the real …

It’s not the same day that I write haikus for you I was in Haiti

Did I throw you off by posting something today that is not haiku?

I forgot to post Another Haiku this week Please do not hate me

Here we are again Back here on another day Reliving it all

There are many things That I just cannot forget What are they again?

For the love of Pete How do I get this printer set up on my Mac?

God came down to earth He took on all of our sins Oh thank you, Jesus

There has got to be a way to make an income by eating pizza

I sniffed it to see if there was any poison I guess we’ll find out

The cost is so high The coffee is so bitter This must be Starbucks

My head is pounding Is right now the end for me? I will make it through

Love is just a word that means more than we can say Love the one you love

It’s not that simple to write a haiku poem It takes lots of thought

It seems of late I’m empty When it comes to words on page I don’t like

Taste the rainbow, they say I wonder how they know It seems very far

To write, not what to write That is the question. But what is the answer?
