Haiku Hour: Day 1 (Total: 30)

One Hour Haiku
Experiment in training
Test hypothesis

I must be more clear
Our words have so much power
Use them carefully

Write in head before
These will suck until I don't
Patient victory

How many Haikus
The patron saint of writing
Demands sacrifice

Is it good to walk?
Do our thoughts move swiftly then?
Or should I just sit?

Had to take a break
The scent of the morning air
Begged my attention

I just told a lie
I really needed coffee
But it sounded good

This new location
And this delicious coffee
May just do the trick

After this I read
Keep going til my eyes bleed
Haha that just rhymed

They say follow bliss
Joy is easier to find
Seek bliss anyway

God is written word
If we think before we speak
Written word is God

My mind is in tune
Haiku form is natural
That was too easy

And for my next trick
I will tell you a secret
We are the mountain

We move here and there
Unconscious thought dictates path
Watch mind carefully

I will shit my pants
If it turns out I am right
Ye of little faith

I rehash old thoughts
To make them strong and sticky
They become ideas

Wisdom from the peaks
Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tzu, more
God is west meets east

Secular wisdom
Has a patron saint as well
His name is Einstein

Where to go with this
I want a bigger challenge
Discipline comes first

Kitsch conversation
I hear it all around me
I can solve problems

My focus is lost
God dammit I hate brain freeze
Damn you ice coffee

Fifteen more minutes
And I can read my haikus
And I look forward

Two lines with one word
Aesthetically displeasing
I need more practice

I need to slow down
Quality not quantity
That is the best way

A man walked by me
"I predicted you were here"
Another man smiles

Concentrate Focus
Any and all distractions
They are behind me

Clear mind is the way
Calm and serene beyond all
Look and see God's face

There is only one
Many claim to know, but don't
Many don't, but do

And this is God's will
Open eyes are final word
But few will attain

It is time to go
I must see my family
I'm late as it is
