Haiku No. 162 (Winter Morning near the GW Bridge)

Cold wind singing through
fire escapes, complimenting
helicopters' drone.

The End of Outside
January 10, 2008 | permalink

Gentle Readers, I decided what to do about my Haiku a Day project. I am going to put it up on Twitter. You can follow it online at my Twitter page, and/or you can sign up and follow me, and you will get the Haikus delivered to you via text. I will start today.

Perhaps I will do something more permanent later, but I think this will be fun and immediate, sort of keeping with the tone of the project (at least, the way I see it). And I thought it might be fun for you, if you chose to sign up, to get random bits of poetry on a daily basis.

I mean, who doesn't need more poetry?

Disclaimer: I am not in any way affiliated with Twitter- I just think it's a cool service that suits my needs...

Haiku No. 151 (Restlessness)

Sleep is elusive
most nights; I toss and turn and
fret away the dark.

Lust for Life
January 7, 2008 | permalink

I didn't make any resolutions this year; they are always the same ones, and making them never seems to give me any extra motivation anyway, so I decided to skip it. What I did do, though, was set myself at a project for the year: I am going to write a haiku (surely you have noticed that I like the haikus!) every day.

I think its do-able. I can't see any reason why I can't find the time to write one a day, and the idea of doing so for a whole year appeals to me in a sweeping scope kind of way.

Some of them I will put up here, for your enjoyment. And I think perhaps after Fashion Week (yes, it's almost Fashion Week again) I will build a place for them on the internets.

The Light is Silver in the Morning

Happy New Year, Gentle Readers (belated as it might be). How are you? Doing well, I trust...

I have really fallen out of the habit of writing. Which sucks, because I miss doing it. Well, you might say, you should just write more. And I agree. The problem I seem to be having is that I write a post, and then it's a week and a half later, and I don't know where the time went. It's the old time dilation in full effect, I guess. At least, that's what I was letting myself think.

But sitting here thinking about it some more, I know that there is more to it. I feel a little... disconnected, maybe. Things are going really well for me; yet I feel a vague dissatisfaction that I can't really pin down. I have no reason for it. I have less than no reason. And yet...

I don't know. Maybe part of me is waiting for the other shoe to drop, waiting for something to start going badly. That doesn't sound exactly right to me either, though. I have certainly felt like that at other times, and this isn't quite the same.

I have to think about it some more, I guess...
