Different Angst Fear: Haiku

Before, I had angst/
to reach out my hand. Now, I/
fear op’ning my mouth.

Shut Up Ignored: Haiku Lament

Get ignored often./

Learn you’re not important. Then/

maybe you’ll shut up.

As I age, I learn: /
Folks wont drop everything to/
hear my opinion.

My inside hero/
died until I showed him my/

new revolution.

When you care what folks/
think, one dumb Facebook post can/
ruin your whole day.

This morning I thanked some/
firemen because I’m grateful/
every day for them.

OR
… firemen cuz I’m grateful each
day for what they do.

After weeks of heat/
and dry, I don’t mind feeling/
cool rain on my face.

When you at last learn/
your life has meaning, then you/
want to get busy.

Don’t berate yourself/
for chances missed. Promise to/
do better next time.

I always forget/
the fallout from Mexican/
food ’til next morning.
