A Collection Of My Haikus

Here are some recent Haikus listed from oldest most recent.
I write most of them in bed, so some don't make much sense, but hey, it's poetry right.

Return
the two worlds converse
languages misunderstood
will i learn again

Old Habits Die Hard
mosquito larvae
pool party is over now
but they bite me still

Men Without Shirts
learning the hard way
a trial punch to the face
broken noses suck

Roommates
conflicting noises
compromise to keep the peace
good friends none the less

$35 Set
olive green velvet
collects wanderers and dust
floral therapy

Clock At The Hospital
here the hands, they race
overtaking the other
when will they find rest

Inspiration
to inspire me
wisdom's soft kiss on the cheek
children sung to sleep

Your Own Shoes
two years my junior
growing up to be your own
apart, brothers still

Off My Chest
to see you again
what i would do differently
to take back the hurt

To Ease My Mind
here we are again
problems simply recognized
i hope that i learn

Kate
just another face
in silenced awakened me
stop, breathe, this is life

In Waking And Sleeping
i engage you still
yet now with words unspoken
tired eyes rest in you

While They Play Games
red toy piano
eighteen keys to write a song
never to be heard

9/14/08
ran out of name tags
to go nameless for a day
sticker on my back

Decisions
laptop is dying
running out of batteries
homework or haiku

The Time Has Come
another late night
a grown bird long overdue
leave the nest, fall, fly

Proactive?
mediocrity
i cannot escape your grasp
have i really tried?

Why Just Now?
a day has gone by
that we never realize
in bed remember

What Have I Learned?
girl in 3d class
i am always judging you
i know it is wrong

Midnight Snack
i just fell asleep
mid-haiku, i held the pen
to finish and sleep
