A single leaf leans

forward, out from the main branch –

it leans toward the sun. – RSM

A ladybug runs

around the tip of my cup,

changing its direction. – RSM

Brightness prevails on

the highway’s grand horizon.

all hues stripe the sky. – RSM

Fatigue is the weight

of heavy experience.

Rest. Lighten the load. – RSM

Consciousness surfing

is the way we all traverse

life’s chaotic waters. – RSM

I get just enough

sleep that ‘one more episode’

is barely worth it. – RSM

The body protests

the mind with fatigue; the mind

answers back with guilt. – RSM

Silence is the world

reminding us to listen

to our deepest thoughts. – RSM

Seven Haikus About Life, And Stuff.

‘Beauty’ is the air

between your eyes and the things

and people you love.

–

Important moments

pass by so quickly, that we

replay them ’til death.

–

Intimate moments

with oneself are works of art:

Powerful. Priceless.

–

Life is a dancefloor,

ballroom dance moves are the norm.

I like pop-and-lock.

–

Staggering to think

how many realities

we’ve made, and destroyed.

–

It’s hard to maintain

a peaceful flow, like water,

but fires are no match.

–

Understanding you

is your most important skill.

You are worth your time. – RSM

The Rabbit Hole – Several Haikus

Is it worth risking

it all, just to find out if

it will set you free?

–

Peeling back layers

of each other’s tough, hard skin-

sowing seeds of trust.

–

Slow, sweet songs, soulful.

Melancholy peace- they call

it rhythm and blues.

–

When I can’t think straight,

I wonder which chakra is

most heavily blocked.

–

Do your job, you’ll make

a living. Do what you love,

you’ll make a fortune.

– Kelvin, Local Sage at St. John’s University

–

Happiness is love.

Laughter is how the soul speaks.

Life shines within us.

–

Sleep is important.

But not so much as writing

this haiku, dammit.

–

My favorite way

to be is weird. Don’t waste time

being ‘normal’ and stuff.

–

After a long day,

how lovely it is, darling,

to come home to you.

– RSM

Nine Haikus.

Reality shows

remind me that there are worse

ways to live my life.

 

Demetri Martin

is a good comedian.

he is so damn weird.

 

Haikus are world known.

Same format, content changes.

Haikus are like memes.

 

Somewhere in this world,

dial-up internet is

connecting to porn.

 

I bet you I’ve slept

more in the last month then all

of this year combined.

 

Clouds before the storm.

A warning of the intense

onslaught to follow.

 

Fire breathes with air,

wind carries flames across land,

and rain ends it all.

 

Haikus on nature

are so extremely cliche.

I really just can’t.

 

The universe has

karma. A boomerang, with

a sense of humor.
