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

The final line of 6 is extraordinary, in my opinion. - H
