February 2023 Haikus
February 1, 2023
Broken toilet seat
Surprising me over night
Could have been much worse
February 2, 2023
I’m living the dream
Fifty now; shingles vaccine
Damn you chicken pox
February 3, 2023
Dinner with old friends
It seems not that long ago
Old not invited
February 4, 2023
Hands approach seven
Can ignore their call today
This day is all mine
February 5, 2023
Chill fills up the lungs
Piercing deeper with each breath
Let’s take this inside
February 6, 2023
Green can is rolled out
Taking those things we don’t want
Wish pain could go with
February 7, 2023
Basketball tonight
Too much blue in the Joel though
This should be our home
February 8, 2023
Mario’s tenders
Sustenance of my midday
Mountain Fried Chicken
February 9, 2023
Things went off the rails
Data shredded and missing
Not a good work day
February 10, 2023
Siren call of pain
Pulls from my slumber again
Tie me to the mast
February 11, 2023
Poetry was shared
Just as it was meant to be
Daughter’s much better
February 12, 2023
Buckets pouring down
Umbrella is not enough
Dog really agrees
February 13, 2023
Five days for two days
The trading floor opens up
A raw deal for sure
February 14, 2023
The obvious one
Dons hearts dressed in pink and white
Why a single day?
February 15, 2023
Train horn is blowing
Declaring presence for all
If you can hear it
February 16, 2023
Wake up in a fog
Constant battles fought to sleep
Lost more than I won
February 17, 2023
Endure and survive
The show’s words not really mine
Needed to share though
February 18, 2023
Rockin’ Moroccan
Treasures come from your window
And so nice to boot
February 19, 2023
Two parallel lines
Form behind jets high in flight
Watch them fade away
February 20, 2023
A cruel cold virus
Has taken up residence
Was not invited
February 21, 2023
He’s slipping away
Little by little each day
Even when he’s here
February 22, 2023
Chickens on the porch
Coughing my head off all day
Sickness and chaos
February 23, 2023
A glimpse of Summer
With Winter also in view
Bipolar weather
February 24, 2023
Resident remains
Eviction notice given
Hope the meds work soon
February 25, 2023
Time will always win
Marching relentlessly on
The game isn’t fair
February 26, 2023
Song is always there
To carry back to the time
All it takes are ears
February 27, 2023
Flipped down mailbox lid
Repeated at each house stop
Just a childish prank
February 28, 2023
Twenty-eight days hath
Or so the rhyme has to say
All of them counted
