June 30, 2008 - advice to the betrothed

As I mentioned last week, we are going to start having "theme weeks" throughout the summer. My friend Jordan recommended the theme of "advice for people getting married in 55 days", so this week is dedicated to her.

this is a first step,
and life's next phase beginning;
cherish the whole trip

June 29, 2008

A community
allows you to lose yourself
Pride knows many ways

June 28, 2008

becoming as one,
both artist and instrument
achieve their end

July 27, 2008

we're living amidst
synchronistic vibrations;
feel them around you.

June 26, 2008

tasting victory,
armies march over the board -
the dice showed favour.

June 25, 2008

more plans being made
before the last ones are done
eternal cycle.

June 24, 2008 - thoughts on the weekend

The monumental
overlooked in favour of
the sensational.

June 23, 2008 - ode to an AT-AT

I think this one needs a little bit of explanation. I recently invited some friends of mine to offer suggestions for "theme weeks" for Haiku 365 (if you'd like to recommend a theme week, email yours to ryanharron@gmail.com with "theme week" in the subject line!). My friend Errol made the suggestion of AT-ATs, although he took mercy on me and asked only for one rather than a whole week :o)

Anyways, without further ado, onto the haiku!

the bigger they are,
the more likely they are to
crush your Rebel base.

June 22, 2008

cross the finish line
proud of your accomplishment
rest is well-deserved.

June 21, 2008 - Irony, p.2

while you weren't looking,
revolution passed you by.
Now you're penniless.

June 20, 2008 - Irony, p.1

You invested in
the revolution of the
proletariat

June 19, 2008

It's so simple, now,
to escape suburbia
without leaving 'home'

June 18, 2008

the same river twice,
comets with crossing orbits.
old friends, seen again.

June 17, 2008

there is nothing worse
than fear lurking in your heart.
banish it, quickly!

June 16, 2008

Fear is palpable
you can feel it in the air
Something's happening

June 15, 2008

A moment stolen
reality, in a flash
a click of the camera

June 14, 2008

new faces, new sounds
communing with each other
this could be heaven.

June 13, 2008

I yearn to perceive
a reality that is
unmediated.

June 12, 2008

waiting for a sign,
traveling the dark ocean,
frustration sinks in.

June 11, 2008

new acquaintances
offering hands in friendship
always a good thing.

June 10, 2008

World domination
is riskier than it seems;
own yourself first.

June 9, 2008

release your ego;
visceral experience
lets you forget you.

June 8, 2008

a sudden change;
that which was sought turns into
that which we avoid

June 7, 2008

finally, it's come
warmness beats down upon me,
sweat across my brow.

June 6, 2008

Avast, ye hearties,
romanticize your dens of
scum and villiany

June 5, 2008

New ideas can be
a dangerous thing to have
if they run rampant.

June 4, 2008

priests and penitents
waiting for that one message:
"you are not alone"

June 3, 2008

lethargy's fog
can undo the strongest plans
if you breath it in.

June 2, 2008

finishing touches
making sure the t's are crossed;
eyes are undotted.

June 1, 2008

sift through history,
search for meaning in the dust,
find only yourself.
