I Self Published Heckava Haiku
In 2010 I learned about a Poet Called Masaoka Shiki. He died at a very young age, but was able to write 25,000 haiku in that short life. I made a goal to write at least 25,000 haiku. By the end of 2010 I had written about 800. I have a long way to go.
2011 I decided to post one haiku for every day of the year here on this lens. Make sure you favorite it so you can read all the new haiku I am going to post. I look forward to succeeding with this project. I hope you enjoy reading them.

My Haiku Challenge for March
10 Haiku Everyday
Haiku 24-31
January 24-31, 2011
How to get my guysTo step up and work faster
So I can look good
I laid next to her.
Fell asleep on the carpet
but she stopped wining
Brother and Sister
Happy to see each other.
Lots of butt sniffing
Found my SLR.
It's like seeing an old friend
After years apart
It's hard to believe
I will only be working
One job and not two.
It can't be a fluke.
Super success for one day.
I must be that good.
Only took three years
to climb the career ladder.
I feel successful.
Decisions to make.
Which of them is the right one.
I must choose better.
Haiku 19-23
January 19-23, 2011
Even when I'm not working.
Sucks to be the Boss
On the cold pavement
I release the drain pan plug
And oil flows out.
Sleep gets in my way.
It takes up time I could use
To do my writing.
Chasing Memory
Into the depths of my brain.
It's dusty back there.
She's asking again.
This time I think I will loose
The puppy battle

Haiku 13 - 18
January 13-18, 2011
Discovered them on YouTube.
I want to Grow Some.
When Splitting Bunk Beds
Make Sure You Have One Headboard
For Each of the Beds
Sleep Deprivation
Seems to be My Life Lately;
For the Past Three Years.
Just Thirty One Cents
For Sixteen Gallons of Gas.
You Can't Beat Fuel Perks.
When I Blow My Nose
Slim Squeezes Out of My Eye.
Sign I'm Getting Sick?
Fourteen Hours Sleep.
I am Feeling Well Again.
Now Back to the Grind.
Haiku 7-12
January 7-12, 2011
With a Healed Broken Back
Slide Down a Storm Drain
Need to sit and Write
Several Haiku to Submit
For Publication
Three Shifts in a Row
That is What I'm Looking at
I Will be Tired
Don't Think I'll Make It.
Will Fall Asleep Before My
Head Hits the Pillow
It is Fun to Watch
When There is Snow All Day Long
Covering the Ground
I Called all the Guys.
Only Hal of Them Answered.
Tonight will be Rough.
Two Thousand Pieces
And Five Guys to Put Them Up.
We Finished by Nine.
Haiku 4-6
January 4-6, 2011
Leg slipping in the abyss
Leaving a black bruise.
Running like clockwork;
This new day is a blessing;
Unlike yesterday.
Saw a sewer cat
With a healed broken back
Slide down a storm drain.
Haiku 1-3 for 2011
January 1-3, 2011
Hunting creativity.
It's alluding me.
Chewed out this morning.
Need to be more organized;
More like a leader
Planning out my day.
There's a time for everything
To get it all done.

- Fantastic. Thanks for writing one. Make sure you participate in my "National 10 Haiku Per Day Month" Lens. You have only 14 more days to write your haiku and submit one per day. The best ones will be published in an Anthology and the proceeds will go to the charity called "Room to Read". It is a great chance to see your creative work go into print and help a bunch of children.

- Wow! Sounds like a lot of fun! I have in fact just written another one! I told you I was going to become a Haiku addict! Thanks! hehe.... I will check out the challenge. How many Haiku do I need to write for it? 10 per day for the whole month? So I need to write about 300 in the next 2 weeks?? :) Maybe I misunderstood...
