10 Hospital Haiku

First operation / Sadly did not do the trick / So I’m cut once more

A pain in my side / What thoughts will I dream tonight? / Simple, dark or distant?

These hours grow late / I am afraid I can’t sleep / Nor wonder of peace

While I eat ice cubes / Thoughts of Notorious foods / Ever draws near to me

Getting better means / Walking enough times around / the nurse’s station

I’ve gotten the best / Kayla and Rose are nurses / Most lucky to have

Slight fever does break / Worry seems overdone now / based on so little

Come night there is change / Called Michelle and Adam / Nurses change daily

Friendly nurse Leah / Removed what was holding me / To this hospital

An IV to go / I am out of here for good / Hope that is the case. 

20 Haiku - That Makes 100

Thoughts nettle my mood / Fears in the peripheral / Death is laconic

Always  circumspect / When formulating  a plan / Never going far

Whispers come at night / While dreams travel by day / She is close at hand

The moment slips by / For time will not wait for me / She always follows

Egoistical / Erudite, brilliant, bold / Downsized I’m told

Ever so nearby / I sense her watchful presence / In all that I do 

Beyond little things / Quiescent after a storm / Halfway from a tear 

Force to live a lie / Coffee mollified my dreams / I walked between worlds

Circling the end / Beliefs don’t aid any plans / When dark thoughts corrupt 

Same few get the blame / While all sides fan the flames / Hate swirling around 

Austere attitudes / Will pester my cheerful mood / When I am thinking 

Turn to her often / Lost in the black of the night / She always follows 

My thoughts betray me / As she whispers in my ear / One sweet delusion 

A simple terror / I’m faced every single day / An empty white page 

The daily chatter / Digitized across the web / So very fleeting 

The witching hours / before the daily sunrise / stirs the soul silly

Inches from a goal / That was once light years away / Steepest hump to climb

Holiest number / Would probably be a three / Father, son and ghost

Nine is magical / It stands on the edge of change / On the next level

It’s easy enough / Didn’t take too long to write / One hundred haiku
