Birds Flying High, You Know How I feel...

Day 5 of 100 haiku(s) continues...
Ok so it is day number five and I seem to be coming up with ideas, they are just tending to be on the darker side. Not necessarily on purpose which is a little bit worrying, or not, depending on your point of view I guess... it's funny adding something new into your routine each day. Usually easy to find a good time, but occasionally not.


06th-September 2012* -Day 5:
Title: Five (Greasy Pieces)

five ways to make eggs
scrambled poached fried hard-boiled smashed
fuck uncle Bully


p.s - Sorry if you don't get it. It's an NZ thing.
p.s.s - Sorry if you are offended by profane language, but I'm not really writing this shit for kids yo.


*Day - Month - Year - should be the agreed format for dates, none of this month then day funny business!

Title: Four (Jazz Funk Fusion)

post punk folk break step

Quartz, Parchment, Shears

100 Day Haiku Adventure
3rd Sept 2012 (Day Two):
Title: Two (together alone)


tranquil seclusion
just two of us forever
Josef Fritzl said


Oh no if I'm resorting to talking about Fritzl on the second day, then how dark will this sequence get? It was just a random idea I got and couldn't reject. Wanted to bring out the dark sinister side of the line "just two of us forever" but might have gone to the extreme. But it happened so there is no point denying it or not thinking he could possibly be one of the worst humans ever, outside of wartime. How did that happen though? And for so many years. FFS

Patterns Within Patterns



OK so I heard this idea on the radio this morning about doing something over and over again for 100 days. Lot's of other people have done this recently in NZ as part of the "100 day Project". Basically picking some sort of (hopefully enjoyable) creative task or process, and repeat it everyday for one hundred days in a row. So I wanted to pick something that is challenging enough that I will want to do it and stay motivated, but not something that is so difficult that I won't be able to insert it into my daily life or complete on a repetitive basis. Something unrestricted enough to allow 100 days of exploration, but not so general that it will lose all meaning and be given up. Different phases of emotion will be gone through, but the work will have to remain constant. So I could possibly draw something, take a photo, write something, paint something, make something; possibilities can go on toward infinity...

but I have deciced to write a Haiku a day for 100 days, titled 'One' to 'One Hundred'. Hopefully, that is if I can complete it! The only restriction being that each day's haiku will be titled by the number of that day and it has to use the number of that day somewhere in it.

Ok so without futher adieu, this shall be day one's attempt:


2nd Sept 2012 (Day One):
Title: One (Pole position)


alone by itself
is the loneliest number
single, hole in one


let's see if I can stick with this... doesn't mean I am going to put them up on here daily, just means I will write one each day, but eventually they will go on here for annoyance, posterity, etc...
