HAIKU HAVOC

Started as Facebook status updates, the daily haikus I was writing morphed into more personal pieces (with the occasional bit of ranting). I wanted to compile them and continue to write them. So Haiku Havoc was born. Haikus are all tagged "Haiku Havoc," and everything else is just blog-related, so it is tagged "Maintenance." I track the tag "haiku-havoc," as well.

Leaking graveyard dirt: the personification of futility.

150

It pisses me off that you piss me off at all. You win regardless.

The scale tips further: ev'ry thing you never said (but should've) piles on.

[haiku-havoc]

148

I do not need you. I don't need anyone, but I needed the truth.

[haiku-havoc]

147

Callous: your skin hard like scales. Reptilian, cold–blood are you nerveless too?

[haiku-havoc]

146

You make me so damn —(angry/sad/lonely/jilted)— wait, no, whatever.

[haiku-havoc]

145

I cannot focus sight wavers like my resolve. How can I sign now?

[haiku-havoc]

144

Ev'ry breath you take pulls you closer to death but you can't help yourself.

[haiku-havoc]

143

The kraken's grasping tentacles pull at my clothes worm into my mouth.

[haiku-havoc]

142

Brain swimming through time and space. Find my bearings now. Or am I just lost?

[haiku-havoc]

141

Pandiculate. Late. It's late. Or, rather, early. Rub at sand and bone.

[haiku-havoc]

140

A bubble blossoms. It wilts my brain and senses; it chokes on my eyes.

[haiku-havoc]

139

Blankets like the sea, I'm floundering for sleep. The storm rips my hair.

[haiku-havoc]

138

I'm a child in this bed (wrapped in sheets), pillows thrown on the floor, aching.

[haiku-havoc]

137

Stalling for seconds. Time tick, ticks, ticks... You're so still. Drop the bomb already.

[haiku-havoc]

136

I hate the way you (speak emptily/make me feel/ lead me on like this.)

So I might be active on this blog again now! I was so stressed out that I couldn't even write nonsense about being stressed out after like... midterms. I'm stressed still, obviously (a college grad now, trying to pay the rent 😉)... but I want to keep up with this. It's meditative. Anyways, back to our regularly scheduled haikus! (I was loading them up into my queue to post once a day in the past... should I just keep doing that? Or mast post? Or post more than once a day?)
