44. Ten Years Old

Who would have thought that
a whole decade would pass by
and feel like a month?

43. Pie

Apple, Strawberry,
Rhubarb, Chocolate, Cherry...
Can't make a bad choice.

42. The View From My Window II

Completely brown now,
the field, ready to be cut.
Haze sits on the lake.

41. Getting Older

On turning forty.
Not much diff'rent from thirty.
The kids are older.

40. So Close...

Waiting in line, close
but no cigar, or iPhone.
A birthday ruined.

39. The Gift

Birthday haiku book
written by friends, family
best present I got.

38. Batman

Joker and Dark Knight,
diff'rent sides of the same coin.
Can good beat evil?

37. The Police

Guitar, bass, and drums
playing music in perfect
synchronicity.

36. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Part II

Are you kidding me?
Steven, what were you thinking,
green lighting this crap.

35. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Old-looking Indy...
commies, aliens, and ants—
summer's worst movie.

34. Nearly There

It's hard work—bike rides,
calories skipped, weights lifted—
losing twenty pounds.

33. The View from my Window

Once green, turning brown.
Farmer's field, alfalfa grows.
Lake on horizon.

32. Get Smart

Shoe phone. Double cross.
Eighty-six duels KAOS.
Last note never sounds.

31. Kung Fu Panda

Po—Dragon Master
learns Kung-fu chasing dumplings.
Awesomeness—no charge.

30. Declaration

Self evident truths,
Political bonds dissolved.
We "ought to be free".

29. The HP Way

Dave and Bill, once friends,
then partners—lots of ideas.
First garage start-up.

Inspiration here.

28. Time

Obligations--lots.

From morning until I sleep.

I need three more hours.
