Arm still in a sling,

Morning coffee sweet and hot,

Still I must type: work.

New car - new life lease,

Floats like a cloud highway-

When can I drive home?!

I'm feeling snappy,

Breakfast tacos for the

My lips all smack-y.

16 Dec 2015

Can record playing,

Manically tapping rhythm,

A leg unhinged.

18 Dec 2015

Laying in the grass,

Flowers tickling my ears,

Warm earth hugs my bones.

22 Dec 2015

Dropped snickerdoodle,

Into sweet and strong

Sugar crumbs dissolve.

Almost daily renditions,

Small bits, needed words.

A haiku as such,

Is meant as an

Of big ideas,

small.

My haiku today,

Laden with dark

muddied thoughts,

Is hiding, slyly.
