Haiku Diary for April 15
I wake up whiney
the sameness of every day
I'm on my last nerve
exercise, shower
a mug of hot tea, breakfast
sun peeks through the trees
my heart pumps, blood flows
lungs reliably inflate
some sameness is good
going to work means
down the hall into office
alone/together
Google Meet is fine
but like all the rest of life
you have to show up
food delivery
a small thing for us to do
makes a big difference
lunchtime luxury
listen to a podcast
nurture my spirit
hours and hours of screens
my brain is totally fried
the cure is ice cream

Keeping a haiku diary is one of the challenges from Jarrett Lerner.
The first one really hit home. I DO wake up whiney!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary Lee!
I wake up and try to be sure I know what day it is! I know that you, like teachers everywhere, have more to manage than I do. Wishing it weren't so, yet glad to read that you're continuing to write on the 'flipside'!
ReplyDelete"I'm on my last nerve." ha ha ha -- same!
ReplyDeleteSo many great moments in these! My faves? That last nerve... sameness... alone/together... you have to show up... the cure is icecream!
