I recently started writing a daily haiku as a way to build my creativity, which has felt really diminished recently. Here is a couple of week’s worth.
My desk is a mess
How it keeps me distracted
Time to clean it up
It will be all right
Time will heal everything
It’s crazy right now
My nose is stuffed up
It makes it so hard to breathe
But I am alive
I am so angry
One person can ruin my day
and not even care
I screamed this morning
and then proceeded to cry
I feel better now
I’m cut off mid-stream
A big project I must complete
God, give me a break!
It’s an overcast day
Glare from the sun wanting out
Bright and dark enmeshed
Breathing is not safe
A virus is taking us down
Fight back with isolation
Today’s sky is blue
Cloudless and crystalline blue
The rain is coming
Yesterday shook me
I let fear take over
Now, I must have faith
Must go out today
The world is topsy-turvy
Safety is unsure
Horrid smell today
Set me off on a huge rant
Trying to stay calm
The yard is now clean
New spring leaves are now sprouting
Life begins anew
Back online again
Headache and fuzziness is gone
Work is never done
Distracted, undone
Too much clutter in my space
Outside is inside
