Some protesters would like a word:

Thought my goal was 20, but wound up w/25 or so #poems. Hmm. And I don't know why I worked " #Haiku #21 " in there. Guess I lost count or came up w/some more #poetry after the fact? It is now a #mystery for the ages...

Anyway, for sure this was last. #typewriter #oldetimey #purple

I'm more writer than visual #artist and hella not a #designer, so 💩 was getting tedious...

"Bleh"

So, of course, as I was nearing my goal of 20 #haiku, I got stars in my eyes 🤩about publishing a #zine. #douchebag #whatwasithinking

"Please stand by"

Okay, no. This was definitely #1 in my #haiku #journal series, although the others I thought were first were probably within the first 5. I don't care that this doesn't matter to anyone but me, I'm saying it anyway.

Ughck. Sorry I even came up w/this one. Why, you ask? It's a story better told over a #Zima. #Isaidwhatisaid

I don't know what's up with this but I'm including it, see. At least it's something to look at before you go on to the next thing.

Also, 5 + 7 + 5 = #haiku, #bitch

D'oh! CORRECTION: This is the first one, not the one about the shower (which is really about nothing more than the great ass on the guy in the illustration).

"Good Sleep"

#FWIW, This is actually based on a true story. I must move around enough to get my recommended daily 10,000 steps in overnight because my bed always looks like a crime scene (and not in a good way) when I get up.

"Gig economy". So the title is the required 5-syllable first line of the haiku? I guess? Maybe?

In any event, real life is the worst : (

"Get In"

Wanted to do a #haiku journal just to see if I could b/c the poems kept occurring to me. Intended to do 20, but wound up w/ 21. I think this one, titled "Get In" was first. Should be something here about getting my feet wet as a poet, but I'm not going there.
