We Gotta Make A Decision

Should I continue
To post haiku on Friday?
Give me your feedback.

Buy A Shiny Backpack

Ireland next week
Switzerland the following
Not too bad a break

Cheaper to fly there
Than most countries I checked on
Except for Japan.

Going to see The Frames
Playing a New Year's Eve gig
Should be a good show.

Got a rental car
To enjoy the autobahn
While in Germany.

Any Europe folk
Who want to meet up with me
Leave me a comment.

Upon A Midnight Clear

Went to a concert
Swedish a capella group
Touring Korea.

Time for Christmas tunes
Over fifty-four hours
In my collection.

Less than two weeks left
The Christmas break begins
I can't hardly wait.

Heading to Europe
Because tickets were so cheap
And I hate the beach.

So if you are there
In Dublin or Basel-land
Let's get together.

It's Close To Midnight

I can't believe it
A couple haiku-less weeks
Do you miss them much?

The Thriller album
It has been twenty five years
Dang I'm feeling old.

Thanksgiving weekend
Took a little get away
With some friends in Seoul.

Met some new people
They wanted to play Hold 'Em
I took their money.

With all these late nights
I'm becoming nocturnal
Just like the Lost Boys.

We Stay Up Very, Very, Very, Very Late

Must make this post quick
Got some computer problems
It keeps shutting down.

Switched to a back up
My eight year old computer
Call it Old Faithful.

Enjoying late nights
Not having to do breakfast
This gig got better.

An X-files movie
I really hope this is true
Find out in July.

Watched this episode
About imagination
Has the best ending.

Another Boring Afternoon

My schedule changed
I am like Henry Winkler
Working the night shift.

She tried to give me
The Watchtower in Russian
No on both accounts.

Come to the table
I think I heard the cook say
The Meatloaf is done.

I can't believe it
Christmas music already
On Launchcast station.

In The Midnight Hour

One last baseball game
The last game of the season
Too bad they got beat.

Yet another game
Keeping me stuck on Facebook
Their version of Risk.

Down in the subway
A photo exhibition
That includes this one.

Before The Night Owl

It is almost midnight
And Friday is almost gone
So is the deadline.

I forgot last week
Until Saturday had come
To post some haiku.

New Radiohead
Is well worth the purchase price
And yes I did pay.

I might go and see
A German rock and roll band
In concert next week.

A new addiction
Playing Scrabble on Facebook
Just wish I could win.

Am I very odd
Starting laundry at midnight
Is a common thing?

It's Another Small Adventure

A lame Friday night
Had two strawberry smoothies
And home before ten.

For celebration
We stopped the education
A week vacation.

Got to get away
A new city to explore
Hope to find some rest.

A family party
I'll be the lone Caucasian
With all the Asians.

Been writing quizes
For Facebook IQ challenge
Try your luck with one.

Here Comes The Rain Again

An unwelcome guest
Scheduled to be here Sunday
It's typhoon Nari.

Korean baseball
I've been to many a game
But never seen this.

Hanging with the guys
Playing some Facebook poker
I get paid for this?

We've barely started
Yet vacation in a week
This is the dream job.

Songs for ice cream trucks
What a great album concept
Wish I drove a truck.

Another Stressed Out Week

It has not rained yet
But the clouds are threatening
Wow what a surprise.

Got my next trip planned
Gonna see a past student
And a Disney park.

My last two visits
The barista hooked me up
With free iced Earl Grey.

A busy weekend
Most of the kids are staying
Should be a fun time.

Police were summoned
The emergency that night
Just a burnt pizza.

Start The Day Tomorrow

It keeps falling down
There are puddles all over
When will the rain end?

He plays the glass harp
Made with cups filled with water
On the streets of Prague.

Finished season six
In my quest to watch them all
Talkin' bout X-files.

Two go head to head
Only the strong will survive
M&M battles.

Song to go with this post: Start Today Tomorrow by Youth Group

A Haiku Poem Inside Of My Head

An addicting game
Testings geography skills
Keeps me on Facebook.

Dorm closed this weekend
Some old students visiting
Should be a good time.

Only back three weeks
Already making some plans
For the next big trip.

These are getting lame
I need some inspiration
Or they might end soon.

I see you reading
But you never leave comments
Are you a loser?

Back To School For You

Been back for two weeks
The suitcases are still out
Still have not unpacked.

First week of school done
No major violations
Hope it stays that way.

At batting cages
Three balls shot out at one time
Felt like the Matrix.

I love Last Christmas
But I agree with this court
That guy went too far.

Driving My Life Away

It has been a while
And this one is slightly late
Here come the haiku.

A donated car
Five thousand miles were added
On the open road.

Texas police man
Thought he had a big drug bust
But he was so wrong.

Saw the Beach Boys play
Two original members
They sounded so old.

Went to a concert
Lots of ladies came to see
Ani DiFranco.

Fireworks and floods
Just two of many hazards
My car had to face.

Used my college skills
Recording a commercial
Promoting 4-H.

They loaded the plane
Knowing the air did not work
Northwest Airlines stinks.

Dreaming Of The West Coast

Got the smog test done
And the title switched over
The car is now mine.

Went to see the game
Drove to Dodger's Stadium
They played in Phoenix.

Nerds waiting in line
Not to see the new Star Wars
But for an iPhone.

It's time to move on
I've got more people to see
On this great big trip.

Are You Ready For The Summer

What were they thinking?
Twenty junior high students
In my cabin group.

Camp is almost done
I hope they go to bed soon
So I can as well.

Monday I leave here
Gonna travel back in time
Heading to L.A.

The road trip starts soon
Can't wait for the open road
Just hope the car starts.

Started Out A Nice Vacation

I was shocked to see
Don Cordell for President
That is my dad's name.

Got a week of camp
Hanging with high school students
And a few good friends.

Saw Casablanca
This evening for the first time
Not a bad movie.

Hey miss cab driver
Do you know where you're going?
I do not think so.

Heading up to Seoul
For BFA reunion
with some of my guys.

School's Out For Summer

Students have all left
Nothing left but the clean-up
The school year is done.

Those deprived children
They had never heard about
Jello Pudding Pops.

A concert in town
You can believe I'm going
To see Boney M.

Currently listening to: Boney M. -

Go Back And Try To Graduate

The boys they did walk
And they got their diplomas
So now they are done.

The McDLT
It kept the hot side so hot
And the cool side cool.

Planning the road trip
Think I found a passenger
Trying for one more.

Too tired to write
I have to get up early
For a grad party.
