Ameri-ku 三十四, - Gyoga Chujo ([米人 - 俳句] Haiku/Senryu)

sun climbs under covers

    snuggled an warm;

night approaches horizon ✍🏼 

scary times are these

    minds lost and befuddled;

salvation in the present moment ✍🏼 

summer fun hot 🥵 

    humidity breezes;

stayin in the moment cool 😎 ✍🏼 

world 🌎 in a hurricane 🌀 

    tsunami 🌊 over the horizon;

shut the shutters batten the hatches ✍🏼 

Sensei pooh-bear

    fist open outdoor dojo;

the Tao of Pooh and Piglet ✍🏼 

mind is a mystery

    all its twists and turns;

you can only control the moment ✍🏼 

past is gone

    future is not set;

stop trying and be the moment ✍🏼 

out of sight

    out of mind;

hidden from thoughts 💭 ✍🏼 

brimstone falls

    fires 🔥 and wind storms;

society falls hard then dies ✍🏼 

know what you know

    know what you don’t know;

learn what you don’t know don’t know ✍🏼 

click goes a mouse

    tik-tok goes a clock ⏰;

where oh where did the net go ✍🏼 

the silence between

    notes of sounds;

the best present moments ✍🏼 

warmongers in our midst

    in plain sight;

be warned and ready my friend ✍🏼 

creating a new space

    for a new kitchen;

never go with family or friends ✍🏼 

late night tired 🥱 

    yawning to stay alert 🚨;

practice breathing in the moment ✍🏼 

words are slow

    feelings are faster;

what decisions have you been making ✍🏼 

emotions are faster

    than speed of light;

leaving logic in the dust ✍🏼 

final frontier 

    of the mind;

the unsolved mystery of mankind ✍🏼 

sun ☀️ on my face

    cool morning breeze;

time to start the day ✍🏼 

moonbeams of Orion

    sea 🌊 snails 🐌 of Sagittarius;

time to die ✍🏼

sometimes doing haiku

    sometimes doing senryu;

always trying our best ✍🏼 

sometimes doing haiku and senryu

    sometimes doing in-between;

always trying our best ✍🏼 

sad that things go far

    with anger and frustration;

be kind and always be kind ✍🏼 

coughing wheezing and sneezing 🤧 

    eating ice cream 🍦;

Ben and jerry’s is the best ✍🏼 

privileged and entitled 

    what people will assume;

still an asshole is ✍🏼 

teaching by humiliation 

    or by manipulation;

teachin notin but resentment and anger ✍🏼 

an unconventional life

     full of extremes;

being crazy 😜 is just crazy 😝 ✍🏼 

art is a expression 

    or copied reality;

give it my best shot ✍🏼 

emotions are ephemeral 

    every last one;

anger lasts only a moment ✍🏼 

anger is ephemeral 

    lasting a short time;

find that freedom moment ✍🏼 

going to the dark side

    faster than thought 💭;

all encompassing death wish ✍🏼 

silence in adversities 

    a good strategy;

staying in the moment better ✍🏼 

Internet disinformation 

    spreads faster than thought;

eroding the very fabric of life ✍🏼 

being a veteran

    is an honor;

a combat veteran is an honor+ ✍🏼 

men walking quietly 

    women walk chattering;

one in the moment and one not ✍🏼 

pitter patter

    mother nature’s tears 😭;

rain rain 🌧 go away ✍🏼
