      Haiku Overdose
      Caught up with childhood mates, Relived, rejoiced the old tales, We are all different people now. I am back. Back to writing for my own pleasure. The pressure to write just because I haven't written for a while is no longer compelling. I wish to write and the words are flowing. As non-sensical as they ever were. But they make every little sense to me. That is where I encrypt my secrets.

      Haiku God and the Economy
      If we wanted to validate the theory of Haiku God, we would make an attempt to discover not-Iness. A necessary ingredient of becoming not-I is elimination of desire and serving others. Unfortunately, our economy is based on desire for things. If people get rid of desire, then consumption will tank, and with it the economy.And what would most not-I's do? Probably return to the land, charity work

      Haiku Poems: How to Guide, Examples, and a Contest
      Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry consisting of verse written in three parts of five, seven, and five syllables. The haiku poem also makes reference to a kigo, a word that relates to a particular season. While Japanese haiku is formatted in a single vertical line, haiku in English is usually printed in three lines.Here are two haiku examples that I wrote:A love haiku for my fiancé…If you

      Politics from the points of view of Haiku God
      As a momentous decision is about to be made, I was thinking about how politics reflects Haiku God. And it seems that the best reflection can be found in the two major parties. The Republicans are the reflection of the male side of HG, the E for energy/electromagnetic side. They are more into religious conservatism, a one-sided belief in the male god - father/son.

      9 Month Haiku.
      Once a small, tiny bundle, all you did was sleep eat and cry - a lot. Not so anymore! Ok, so you still sleep, and eat, and cry, a lot… but where there was just “a newborn”, now there’s a boy who smiles, and giggles. A little dude who’s personality is oh so different. Different from your brother. He was born blonde, you were born so dark. To say that [...]

      Haiku Friday: Test Time
      Big test tomorrowIf I pass, I stay in school -No pressure at all.I'd write more haiku, but I really have to study for this test. It's the halfway point of nursing school, and if we don't pass this comprehensive test, we're out of the program. OK, it's not quite that dramatic. We have one more chance to take it if we fail, and if we fail both times, we can reapply to continue the program after sit

      A Haiku story
      Each day, the mundane. Life - it seems stands still. Today, I walk. Melancholy of the evenings. All shades turning to gray. Today, I see just hues. I would like borrow some words from the movie V for Vendetta. I, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine -- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. But there are some days, when the routine just seems

      Haiku Friday: Birthdays
      Today is specialSomeone close turns fifty-fourHappy birthday, momTomorrow is mineBirthdays just one day apart(Plus twenty-two years)I kinda resented having a birthday one day apart from my mom growing up. Our family always celebrated our birthdays together, meaning I never had my own party. I didn't even have my own cake - it was always a shared cake. (I liked chocolate, and she preferred white,

      Update on the Haiku News Idea
      I have given more thought to my Haiku News idea over the past month, and I have come to the conclusion that the best way to do a site like this is not by having a handful of people posting and writing haikus.The best way is to make it a site like Fark or Digg, and let visitors submit the links, and not just news. But rather than require them to write a catchy headline and a brief enticing descript

      Haiku News
      I was thinking about starting my own news site, where all the news is reported in haiku.I'd just have to take the top news stories for the day, write a haiku for each, and then post them with links to the articles.I tried to give away the idea to a friend, but he's not all that fond of 5-7-5. He's more into 4-2-0.The only thing I am worried about is that a project like this would consume way too m
