An error in thought / He thought that he could escape / This world of Haiku

Sometimes as I lie / And look up at the night sky / The starless night weeps

You can’t always win / Losing is a side effect / Of trying so hard

I hate you this way / Like nothing we’ve done counted / Throwing this away

Wondering through town / These sights and sounds new to me / Enriching my thoughts

Losing that feeling / The joy I once had with you / As you lose it too

The time has now come / To learn haiku without prose / A new day starts fresh

Learn this song and dance / Until your feet can take you / To where you must go

Five hours of regret / Wishing you could choose again / We can’t change the past

A night forgotten / A better way to keep track / Till I don’t forget

A long memory / Held together with pieces / Of who we once were

A challenge of heart / To spend time with those you love / And to hold them fast

Another night gone / A day I wished was over / Waiting on that clock

New generations / Rising from the old ashes / Of what used to be

New technology / Bringing ease to life’s hard trials / Creating new trials

I just can't explain / How you make me feel inside / How stupid you are

Another year gone / It’s passing celebrated / Welcoming the new

A way to start fresh / Purging all that causes harm / Letting the past go

Little bit of growth / The spark of life that moves us / Knows our potential

A combination / Of finesse and tame manner / Impresses us all

How many small words / Can come together in verse / To form new meaning

The new year has past / Your wish for change must start now / Take initiative

One small rash of theft / Losing what you’ve worked hard for / To dishonesty

Tonight felt joyless / The sights and sounds offended / I know I grow old

Death will take us all / But we will fight it, we must / Or we will forfeit

It’s coming quickly / The time in which we must find / That which makes us strong

We will shut it down / Until this censorship fails / We will draw the line

My trouble has come / Stopping dead my merry tracks / As fear fills my mind

As always I know / That feeling of white hot rage / welling up inside

The unexpected / Can make or break emotions / With little effort

On route to success / A road filled with obstacles / To vault far over

The strain and effort / That we go through each long day / To reach the set goal
