    Life is tough right now
    Lots of people suffering
    Why can’t we be nice?

    I think we should try
    We have always had conflict
    Let’s try peace instead

    I don't understand
    What a saint who drove off snakes
    Has to do with beer?

    Did snakes drink his beer?
    No wonder he drove them off...
    Don't mess with my beer!

    Son ate my ice cream...
    Shall I evict him forth-with,
    And be called a saint?

    Would I call you saint
    for protecting my ice cream?
    That might be a stretch.

    even when you drink,
    You are a poet, and so
    now we all know it. 😉😄

    Brought tears to my eyes,
    Your amazing poem did...
    A good thing or bad?

    Running through the hills
    I wonder why I do this...
    finding peace of mind?

    First up then back down,
    the elevation varies,
    but ends where it starts.

    Next time I will go
    farther than I went this time.
    But will I finish?

    Kids are born, they grow,
    one day to leave on their own:
    The circle of life.

    Nobody mentions
    the parents now left behind
    and waving farewell.

    Mother and father,
    she cries "my baby's leaving!"
    He feels naught but pride.

    As they walk inside,
    she worries for the safety
    of her firstborn son.

    Also lost in thought,
    the man wonders deep within:
    "What time is dinner?"

    Riding in first place
    Whoever threw the blue shell
    Your mom is a *kitten*

    We have often seen
    the powers of censorship:
    poetic license?

    once upon a time
    there was a haiku poet
    who could not count.

    A new beginning:
    so what shall I do this year
    I didn't do last?

    A good sentiment...
    you need more syllables, but
    what does it matter? 🙂

    I sometimes wonder
    If there is more I can give
    But there is no more

    I strive for greatness
    Most times I fail in that quest
    But yet, I keep on

    I think that’s the trick
    To being content with you
    Always try your best

    Although I'm thinking
    the answer is obvious,
    what is the question?

    I love Rock ‘N Roll 🎶
    Got a demon in my soul 😈
    I like it heavy

    Louder than a 10 📣
    Gotta feel it in my chest ⚡️
    Making my heart race 🖤

    Been cranking it up 🎸
    Throwing my horns in the air 🤘🏼
    Since I was like 10 🤪

    (First attempt 🥴)

    Revision #1:

    I sit here thinking
    the answer is obvious,
    but what's the question?

    Frost covered branches,
    a full moon high in the sky
    and the lake is calm.

    Summer 🌞🔥
    It's hot and humid
    I would rather be indoors
    and walking the floors

    ..over you... It is real
    Pain outside having to hide
    Truth and what I feel.

    How do they do what they do?
    It's just amazing!

    Oh Fibonacci,
    how did you stumble upon
    nature's innate math?

    My dog is joyful
    Her indestructible toy
    Lies in tiny bits

    Time to quit my job...
    Computer screens. Hours insane
    Ocular migraine!

    Be a barista!
    Maybe it wasn't my screen...
    & too much caffeine! 😵‍💫
