four in the morning,
darkness envelopes, reminds
of light yet to come.

took a walk today
in the grass by the roadside;
five ticks hitched a ride.

hail democracy;
unless they go against us,
the people should rule.

oh, broken record,
lie to me just one more time,
and I might believe.

blank post field taunts me;
wish I had extra haiku,
come back missing book!

at this conclusion
of the longest week ever,
sweet relaxation.

77;
temperature sub-80,
first time in a week.
