You can’t buy happy
Though a smile can be rented
Sadness always free

Morning Triku #177 ~ Running on Empty
Howling
There once was a spark.
The spark’s now gone; all is dark.
Time to e-embark.
~
Shootin’ Blanks
Reasons to pack heat:
Security issues or
insecurity.
~
Lost in Space
Opinions matter,
Facts and truth matter more.
Tomorrows tell all.

Morning Triku #176 ~ The Bright Side of Gray
~*~
Too Read
Daily poetry
The soothing of a poets heart
But for lover’s not
~
That’s Not Funny
Self-deprecation
Is laughing at our failings
And with good reason
~
Failing to See a Point
No longer obsessed
By success or of failure
I’m used to failure

Morning Triku XIV
Law of Halves
A day that half sucks
And half blows is still breathing
And that’s not half bad
*
Writers Blocks
Writer’s blocks needed
Sometimes to rebuild, refresh
And expand one’s life
*
Holey Boats
A boat that has holes
Can be bailed forever
A bail-less boat sinks

Tempting
Temptation is the
Instant between desire and
Euphoric demise

Ever-Reaching
Altitude is a
Height we soar, attitude is
our desire for more

Probably Statistical
There’s almost never
always or never, almost
always there’s maybe

Morning Triku #145 – Word Play
*
Whole Hearted
Do soul mates exist?
Do hearts and minds spark when kissed?
Yes and more when missed.
*
Think About It
Mind over matter
is absurd when the world’s weight
is on your shoulders.
*
Non-Yielding
It’s not easy street
with bumps and stops, though poets
get the write of way.

Vicariously
I live within my writing.
Life, it seems, is hard.

Forces of nature,
like myself, follow paths of
the least resistance.

Maturity is

Mourning Triku #158 – Monday Again?
~*~
Disconnectionated
The older I get,
the younger I feel I feel,
till felt what’s real.
~
Preflighty Check
Dangerous actions
follow dangerous thinking.
Think before thinking.
~
Nit Pickin
When I examine
myself with a microscope
I just get smaller.

It holds open the door to

No Expiration Date – Valentine Triku
Hearts never open
Hearts never to be broken
Un-open bleed fixed
~
Hearts always open
Welcome all that’s broken
Open yet broken still
~
Welcome hearts open
Melded pairs never broken
Hearts beating times rhythm

Morning Triku XII
To Win
Debates are won by
not scholarly knowledge but
better debaters
*
To Sit
My favorite seat
Has no wings or down cushion
It’s with me always
*
To Die
Bad day, awful night
Headache, horrible life
Alternative’s worse

Morning Triku #46
Steely Writer-
Novels made easy-
Simply steal a best seller
Then change all the words
*
Haiku-
Civilizations
Philosophies recorded
Three lines at a time
*
Imprisoned Poetry-
Justice tips balance
Writ large by hand, chain and scale
Pen or bar and shale
