Bad Haiku
@badhaiku.bsky.social
Using haiku to simplify life. Sometimes thoughtful, despairing, funny. Probably always a bit bad.
Three simple rules. 5, 7, 5. Don't panic. Just make.
(A repost from me means I found you profound and important, not bad!)
No AI. Be better.

(1/18) I spent years of my life with total creative block. This was something I just could not deal with mentally, after being told my whole life that my strength came from my creativity. The more I fought against it, the more stubborn it became, until I just gave up.
Be a source of light,
and detach your own shadow.
Burn bright, melt the ice.

These short syllables
aren't always enough to show
the depth of my rage.
I'll go twice. Or more.
Fuck it. They all break the rules,
maybe we should start.
Three times, and maybe
that's enough to say "enough".
If not, I'll scream it.

Woke up this morning
with fuck the world energy.
It's a start, I guess.
(p.s. not a haiku, actual energy would be great though, I shouldn't have to plan everything I need to take to climb the stairs)
