#7.



1.
the dogs are pacing
what could they be expecting?
same as yesterday

2.
Benny is barking
Dusty is staring at me
they want attention

3.
More about itching
can't get no satisfaction
but it's worth a try

4.
fear won in Houston
two percent of registered polled
tyranny of fools

5.
yoga class tonight
embodied wisdom free
let me know my strength

6.
effortful practice
frees heart's wisdom embodied
yoga for the soul

8.
boing boing boing on page
punning gibberish for art
dada with strict rules

9.
tender baby spouts
survived two hundred year floods
can't wait to eat you

10.
learning from boredom
disconnection from the real
kills heart's drive to love

100 Day Haiku Challenge: Day 1

8.



1.

Begin the counting
five seven five times ten times ten
already cheating

2.

endless distractions
inner critic shuts it down
facebook sabotage

3.

ten haikus a day
practice it practice practice
okay not perfect

4.

tell yourself you can
dabble in imperfection
traitorous mind fuck

5.

rearrange the play
gerunding verbs adverbly
toss that word salad

6.

five for counting sounds
five for creating a mood
distraction abounds

7.

strip words to transform
superfluous metaphor
just say what you mean

9.

wake up play with words
spinning dizzy fly from swing
can I stop at nine?

10.

by ten words spent
duals dealt meaningless
last line makes up missing counts
