Journal

A tiny little corner of the internet for my personal playlists, poetry, and plenty of nostalgia.

Haikus in July

My July goal was to write more and to take more pictures "just for fun".

Not for Instagram or for work. Instead, those raw, unedited gems that seldom make it into the picturesque feeds.

After 11 days of writing and unbeautified photos, I failed miserably at keeping up with the daily challenge. 

It may not be a months worth of content, but here are the haikus and pictures from days 1 through 11.

1

USDA who

I'm a papaya enzyme

Active culture you

2

Valencia, love

Heath Ledger doppelgänger

Thrift store buyer thrills

3

Ethiopian

Alamo square under me

When I crave a view

4

I'm free, I'm tea drunk

New faces equals presence

I'll unwrap this one

5

I'm cold standing here

Why can't we just jump in yet?

Meet you in the sea

6

Strolling strangers meet

Curiosity is new

And it crowned the cat

7

Too spicy to taste

Too ego to touch for real

So I'll just leave now

8

Ocean for breakfast

Fog wind and my tired legs

Can we go home now

9

We are hot, dripping

Our only qualm is the skin

Peeling from our flesh

10

You don't realize

How contagious laughing is

Until you're on Bart

11

Sweet sounds, nostalgia

Energetic teenagers

Fall in love tonight
