Know what today is?
Just in case you weren’t aware:
World Blog Haiku Day
Not doing that much
Just sitting, barely moving
Still sticky with sweat
They Might Be Giants
New album eight days away
They’ll pass too slowly
Next Maryland trip
May now be delayed one week
If colleagues consent
This week Laura takes
Step three of medical boards.
I don’t envy her.
Perfectionist’s fear
Growing moment by moment
Yet unjustified
Precision, balance,
Economy of language:
Haiku teaches these.
Brevity of life
Muse of typical haiku
Atypic haiku
Bypass my journal
There is no haiku to see
‘Til I have vodka
Your haikus provide
Syllabic portrait of life
Poem perfection
Flattery surplus!
“Poem perfection”? Not quite.
But still, I thank you.
