Haiku Monday - X ...

Yes, bloggy friends.
I know it isn't even close
to Monday but, I'm posting
now because I'm too tired to
think of anything else because
I haven't slept in two days.
Senior Insomnia? Perhaps.
Anyway, I'm planning ahead because
I hope to be sleeping soon and I may
miss Monday altogether.

The host for this week's Haiku Monday is
Moi.
(no, not me. Moi.)
The challenging topic she chose is:

X
Yes. X .Go to her blog to read the rules because
I'm too tired to 'splain.

These are mine. You write your own.

(1)
invisible is
really exvisible. Once
you were there, then not.

(2)
they're what your heart
gets when love goes running out
the door. exit wounds.

(3)
experience should
be insperience. absorbed
by us, not expelled.

(4)
exiled because of
profiled. accelerated
label-ization.

(5)
Excel. Be better
than you were before. Before
when? Before today.

(6)
Excavate the pain.
Exhume. Excommunicate.
Accelerate joy.

(7)
XYZ. not as
easy as ABC... I
got nuthin' for this.

(8)
like a trail of
rabbit turds. Excremental
expostulation.

(9)
Don't say shit. (You mean,
don't say anything?) No, you
stupid. Don't say shit!

(10)
this is my brain on
no sleep for forty-eight hours.
Exhaustion excites.

********************

yeah, yeah. I got a little carried away.

g'night.

anyone know the name of this flower?...


The bloom is about 3 inches across, the
leaves are slightly fuzzy and the whole
plant only gets about six inches tall.
When shade hits the flower it closes, like
a morning glory, but this is not a climber.

I don't remember where I bought it many
years ago, and I've never seen it since.
It's a low-maintenance survivor and I'd like
to have more someday.

Anyone...?

It's a hard thing to do...

Focus. Focus. Focus.

Fail.

I know it's bad when I have trouble concentrating
on a book I'm reading. Cover the same paragraph,
sometimes the same sentence, three times and still
have no idea what I read.

I have no answers. I'm wearing out the questions.
Everything feels wrong.

Purpose. It seems there is none.

The slippery slope has no sharp edge to grab.
I am a non-person. Less than a statistic.
Invisible as a ghost that cannot even cast a shadow.

Haiku Monday - Don't Mess With Mother Nature


Beautiful planet
Earth knows how to take care of
herself. Let her live.

*

neighborhood? It used to be
so clean and quiet.

*


it should be a love
affair with yourself, not sad.
who needs bigger boobs??
