In December, I posted some of my best haikus from the previous months.  Well, I’ve been writing a haiku every day since January 1st.  I can’t wait to get to 366!  While they are not all masterpieces of the poetic form, here are some of the better ones:

***

the house and the gym

are not very compelling

settings for haiku.

***

mouth-watering smell

of fresh garlic and onions

in a saute pan.

***

didn’t get a thing

done today - sucked into the

vortex of tv.

***

oh, to be the girls

on boardwalk empire!  so

gorgeous, drunk, happy.

***

thinking about the

distance between us makes me

melancholy too.

***

i miss sunday nights

at the barbary, singing

and dancing with you.

***

the signs were always

obviously pointing me

in this direction.

***

sleeping and waking

with you in reality -

sweeter than in dreams.

***

yes, please, let’s go to

atlantic city, london,

paris, alaska!

***

motivation was

easy in january;

february’s hard.

***

without my glasses,

the world is a series of

blurry shapes, colors.

***

my brilliant best

friend says being 24’s

all vicissitudes.

***

cookies, card, a dance

party, so many hugs!  thanks

for the sweet send off!

***

vegetarian

asian noodle soup in big

bowls with my best friend.

***

valentine’s day is

lame, we agree.  so here’s a

just because haiku.

***

i am finally

understanding why people

love caffeine so much.

***

scalding hot shower

washes away five hours

of job frustration.

***

i’ve been foolish to

believe there might be someone

in this world for me.

***

everywhere i go,

i carry this worn notebook

of lousy haiku.
