True story.

I’m infamous
for self-sabotage; soon I’ll

Contacting a friend,
who doesn't reply back; you
feel like a dead-weight.

Inspired by light
and a likeness between us;
No shade needed here.

There is a lizard
trapped in my bathtub; the climb
is too steep for him.

He fears my help as
I fear hurting him, for he
is a fragile thing.

Today, a haiku
Tomorrow, Say Anything
Little work, no play

I was unable to go to the Say Anything concert for I had not enough money. Every. Time.

Encased in a box
is the magic of Christmas
none could manage out.

There is a cold chill
throughout this house without lights
and the smell of pine.

A poem earlier, but

Actually written Wednesday, December 7th, meant for Tuesday, December 6th.

A writer who can't write haikus on Tuesdays is no writer at all.
