  • haiku sweets

    sweet cold
    melting in the bowl
    delighting the tongue

    — ice cream

    chocolate
    combined with cookies
    a dream in brown

    — chocolate chip cookie

  • mating ritual

    clapping hands
    stomping hoofs
    prancing paws
    flapping wings
    slithering scales
    fluttering feathers
    so goes the dance
    of the mates

  • office haiku

    unfamiliar
    twittering of birds
    in the office

    — office on a busy street

    the calm
    the breeze, the wind, the storm
    silence

    — office fan

  • locomotion

    being around
    rolling around
    crawling around
    walking around
    jumping around
    driving around
    flying around

    going somewhere?
    arriving anywhere?

    part of the goal is
    enjoying the journey

  • rinse and repeat and repeat and repeat

    at least once a day
    taking a shower
    at least twice a day
    brushing teeth
    several times a day
    eating healthy meals
    several times a day
    drinking water
    regular
    exercise
    some days
    it is a hassle to have a body
    to take care of

  • reading

    reading in books
    looking for answers
    finding words

    reading in words
    looking for questions
    finding interpretation

    reading in interpretation
    looking for meaning
    finding minds

    reading in minds
    looking for truths
    finding people

  • snail mail

    a snail reading mail on top of a nail

    it tells a tale of a quail flying in hail
    while flying on a gale it follows a trail into a vale
    through the thick veil it spots a bale of hey in jail
    trying to assail the tail of a whale
    landing on a scale it disturbs a pale male weighing kale
    which is stale and frail and thus on sale
    letting out a wail it starts to flail and knocks over a grail full of ale
    attempting to bail it flies into a sail ending in a fail

    making the snail exhale at that last detail and setting out to Yale
    following a rail it will prevail to regale old Gayle who can only read Braille

    in cooperation with a rhyming snail

  • shopping sensations

    bright lights
    reflecting from every surface
    hurting the eyes
    loud noises
    buzzing from every speaker
    ringing in the ears
    funny smells
    wafting from every door
    stinging in the nose
    many people
    hustling all over the place
    bumping in the shoulder
    unpleasantness
    thy name is
    shopping centre

  • never changing

    Change. Change is never the same.

    Regardless of what we do, change changes everything.

    Change changes environments.

    Change changes organisations.

    Change changes teams.

    Change changes individuals.

    Change changes changing chances.

    Chances change change.

    Change. Change is never the same.

  • tears

    the first tear
    goes by
    unnoticed

    the second tear
    is an
    accident

    the third tear
    raises
    questions

    by the fourth tear
    worrying
    starts

    why
    are the tears
    happening

    what
    if the tears
    never stop

    who
    is responsible
    for the tears

    tear
    by tear
    the tears
    go on

    nothing
    gained

    but all
    seems lost
