I get to

I don’t have to wake up too early
I get to

I don’t have to go to work
I get to

I don’t have to deal with my neighbors
I get to

I don’t have to eat a healthy dinner
I get to

I don’t have to call my parents
I get to

I don’t have to wash the dishes
sweep the floors
feed the pets
hang the laundry
scrub the toilet
I get to

I don’t have to pack her lunch
with a smile
and a lovely note
I get to

I don’t have to do
the things I dread
or the things I love
I get to

I don’t have to keep on living

I get to!

I get started

I get started

Just tell myself
First step’s the hardest
First mile’s the farthest

Just tell myself
You got this
You can’t miss

Just tell myself
One step at a time
It’ll all be fine

Just tell myself
You can make it
All the way
Gotta take it
Day by day

Just tell myself
I’m with you friend

Until
I get
To the end

Flipping Frowns

Got those early week blues
So please won't you grace
Me with something funny
To put a smile on my face

A feel-good story
Or a friendly life tip
Your best one-liner
Or a clever quip

I just want to laugh
I just want to grin
And against despondency
I just want a win

A cheerful heart is good medicine
Just what the Doctor prescribes
So let's help each other out
With some positive vibes

#monday #blues #smile #laugh #positive #vibes

Haiku Challenge

A challenge for you:
Try to speak in just haiku
In your normal speech

Give it your best shot
It's really hard, but so fun
In verse, try to preach

Maybe they'll notice
Maybe they won't have a clue
Have fun either way

Live life whimsically
Put a smile on your face
Haiku-ize your day!

Seriously, y'all!
You can spark your brain to life
With pure haiku speech

Try it out and let me know how it goes!

Escuela o qué?

Colegio
Ruidoso, Bullicioso
Jugando, Riendo, Gritando
Tal vez debemos estudiar?...
...Jovenes...

School
Noisy, Rambunctious
Playing, Laughing, Shouting
Maybe we should study?...
...Youth...

Inspired by my experiences in some chaotic Colombian schools.

Spanish-English double didactic cinquain.

Try-lingual

Quiero hablar
I'll try in any language
ภาษาไทย ยาก มาก

Beyond bilingualism.
Well, I try.

Translated:
I want to speak
I'll try in any language
Thai is very hard

(The last line is pronounced "pasa Thai yak mak")
