Future Shock

I've been really sick
and am taking a few days
off of poetry.

#haiku #poem #poetry

Time will stop: your breath
will catch, fingers freeze, eyes closed
against the wind's roar

#haiku #poem #poetry

I will eat ice cream
Dip my hair in the salt sea
Forget about you

#haiku #poem #poetry

Cyberpunk future
is here. But maybe just the
dystopia part.

#haiku #poem #poetry

Dusty videos
in the attic. Who wanted
to make these? Not me.
It's cruel to trap people. Lost
to an obsolete format.

#haiku #poem #poetry

On a field of snow
No horizon, no west nor
east, no up nor down.

#haiku #poem #poetry

Heavy with bread, I
melt to the warmth of the fire,
gaze fixed at the flames.

#haiku #poem #poetry

The hour is drawing
late, painting thin streams of ink
on the sky's canvas

#haiku #poem #poetry

You had a lifetime
of wrinkles on just one side
of your face, etched there
by sun through the drivers side
window, running from your life.

Behold the master
of shit haiku! Fear me in
all of my glory!

#haiku #poem #poetry

Arms crossed and clenched eyes,
one shoe but two feet. Who wins?
Probably no one.

#haiku #poem #poetry

Envy feels heavy
and jealousy sharp. Warped truth,
green eyes, your snake hides.

#haiku #poem #poetry

Coming to you live
from my bed. Wrapped in the haze
of mid-day fever.

#haiku #poem #poetry

Man, life moves too fast.
What the hell happened to last
month? It's December?

#haiku #poem #poetry

The stone statue's scales:
sixty feet tall and filled with
rain. One drop for fate.

#haiku #poem #poetry

Behold! I cast Fireball. Oops, there goes the server room

Thinking of 90's
songs. Never found the right cut
of jeans. Smell of fall

#haiku #poem #poetry

Mercy mercy me
What's going on with that smile
Can't see for the light

#Haiku #poem #poetry

Touch the strings to spark
the soft vibration, voices
rise to meet the sound

#haiku #poem #poetry

These poems reveal me:
Obsessed with time, self-centered,
self-aware, and sad.

#haiku #poem #poetry

Nascent sun ascends
He said he could hear the leaves
Fall at 5 am

#haiku #poem #poetry

Anxieties for
untold futures, half-baked plans
present forgotten

#haiku #poem #poetry

I hear my breath loud
as the gap between words yawns
maw of pained silence

#haiku #poem #poetry

Another version:

tangled chains and cords
a thousand tiny movements
life ties you in knots

Tangled cords record
a thousand tiny movements.
Adding up the days

The house is silent
I try not to make noise, lest
I raise them from sleep.

#haiku #poem #poetry

Hushed night--not sleeping
yet, not traveling yet, not
moving towards the dawn.

#haiku #poem #poetry

Like mad cats, they claw
at each other, blind, frightened,
desperate. Work sucks.

#haiku #poem #poetry

Ice in my shoes, wind
in my hair, whipping around,
cruel lash of winter.
