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.
It's Friday, Friday,
gotta get down on Friday,
everybody's loo-

(No really I'm sorry, once I wondered if it fit into haiku format, I couldn't stop thinking about posting this, it's your problem now)

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)
