Haiku for every day of January 2022

Haiku for every day of January 2022

 

January 1

Roses! Floats! Big parade

Football, yesterday, today

For auld acquaintance

 

Sunday, January 2

Co-vid, church, Reboot

Learning how to love again

Learn to use our words

 

January 3

Easy does it – go

Pack, make food and start the car

Goodbye, I love you

 

January 4

Stop! Lunch with Lansford

Fourteen hours, take a break

Still, I love this trip

 

January 5

Wind, minus 14

Seven Saints, salad, sliders

Marc – great companion

 

January 6

Old fashioneds with Marc

Champaign steaks at The Ribeye

Quiet, no music

 

January 7

Friday in Lincoln

Rummaging with Mary, John

And sorting through books (118 boxes)

 

January 8

Jack has co-vid but

Chris, Aly Culvers with me

And then, headed south

 

 

Sunday, January 9

Cracker Barrel eggs

Love these hours in the car

Harry Potter lives!

 

January 10

Started just Friday

Jasper is peeing in the pot

Keeping his pants dry

 

January 11

Monument Café

Andrew, server, sweet helper

Outside it’s raining

 

January 12

Sunshine sings its song

But inside I feel sour

So I pray, and wait

 

January 13

Sleep. Shower. Coffee.

Take some time today to write

One thing at a time

 

January 14

All this sun, while storms

Spread snow across the country

Grill steaks now, play games             (New Year’s Eve party postponed two weeks ago)

 

January 15

Angry in morning

Angry in the evening

Angry suppertime

 

Sunday, January 16

Stop screaming the truth

Start hearing what others think

And then say it back

 

January 17

San Diego skies

Go outside and just breathe deep

while sun bakes my skin

 

January 18

Phoenicia Deli:

Let’s read “Lebanon Times,” then

Buy dry fava beans

 

January 19

Great mood for Jasper

So good to be together

Warm playground with Miles

 

January 20

Weather has turned cold

Maybe even, little snow

Dinner, Rugeleys

 

January 21

Jesus, please help me

Remember that you’re in charge

Always, forever

 

January 22

Football and puzzles

Salmon and artichoke dip

All day, sweet sunshine

 

Sunday, January 23

Four great football games

Over now, I’m exhausted

Like I played myself

 

January 24

Stomping through puddles

Warm gingerbread with Miles, Mom

Jasper leads the way

 

January 25

We make a good team

When we don’t kill each other

Day in and day out

 

January 26

Cooking with Jasper

Feed each other sausage bites

Then take a long nap

 

January 27

Margaret’s eyes, heart, tooth

Doctors who care, a little

They too are human

 

January 28

Finishing month’s books

Roll the door up on my mind

Receive what God gives

 

January 29

Great Hills Park Playscape

In windless sun, listen, read

One block from Ice House (Charlie and Tina)

 

Sunday, January 30

Holy Spirit spin

I am justified in Christ

This is who I am

 

January 31

Dinner, games, Ices

Salmon, crème brulee, coffee

And a little port
