Don't worry, spiders
I keep house
Casually
~ Kobayashi Issa
O snail
Climb Mt. Fuji,
But slowly, slowly!
~Kobayashi Issa
Old pond
Frog jumps in
The sound of water
~Matsuo Basho
Fleas, lice
A horse pissing
By my pillow
~Matsuo Basho
A long hard journey
Rain beating down the clover
Like a wander's feet
~ Yosa Buson
The sparrow singing
its small mouth
open
~Yosa Buson
Beauty in motion
ReplyDeleteBaby takes first steps
Walking down the aisle
Raking the leaves.
Imposing an order,
Leaves or me?
Having cut the lawn,
A cold beer beckons to me.
Watching. Drinking. Rain.
Basking in sunlight
waking gently, a blossom
shakes off the dew.
Empty parking lot,
Autumn has chilled the air.
Single leaf blows by.
Bassho's frog went plop!
and never heard from again.
A snapping turtle
Geese alight on pond
Confusion of Wings and Waves
A sudden stillness
Silvery moonlight
Casts reflections. Quiet lake
Makes no effort.
Quarter moon smiling
Down like Cheshire Cat, songs
Crickets sing at campfires.
Scattered leaves
Blow across the parking lot.
Arrival of autumn.
I arrive at work
Darkness still blankets me.
Winter is coming.
I look up: dark cloud.
Hear cranes cry over my field
Under autumn's spell.
Cold wind blows bare trees.
The leaves are all raked.
Snowflakes dancing.
Traveling geese
Without gravity burden
Specks against the sky
and a few in Japanese...
Samui fuyu
Shiroi meigetsu
Yukiakari
Cold winter
White full moon
Brightness of snow
Natsu no yuu.
Ashita no gozen wa
Wakarimasen.
Summer evening.
As for tomorrow morning,
I don’t know.
Meigetsu wa
Tsuranuku mado de
Sosogimasu.
The full moon
Through an open window
Pours in.
- Me
Nice Rick.

Sahara feeling less stressy?
I hope,
Josh
Actually, not at all... I still have no job and limited to funds on which to sustain myself, so I'm a little apprehensive, but I was right, reading some Haiku did help me feel better. ^.^
ReplyDeleteI'd look into security. They're usually hiring, might not be what your looking for, but should tied you over till you fined something more your style.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, a good night job might actually work out for you. It will free up your mornings & evenings; one for sleeping the other for training.
My 2 cents,
Josh
Back in the day, I worked in security during the midnight shift at a Detroit hotel. That schedule afforded me the opportunity to attend every class taught by Kushida Sensei (9 per week) as well as every class taught at one of the satellite dojo (4 per week).
ReplyDeleteDo you suppose someone will hire a 5'0" and 23 year old female to work security for them? I'll give it a shot for sure, but I doubt I'll get much consideration there. Lol, Thanks for the advice though! Its always welcome. :]
ReplyDeleteWhat most security is looking for is some to show up on time and wonder around buildings checking doors and making sure the place doesn't burn down.
ReplyDeleteAlso, not all security is the lone nightman. Some places/sites work with teams lobby/desk and patrol, maybe set in a control room monitoring cameras. It just depends on what they're looking for.
Just some FYI,
Josh
Ps. Not sure what the rules are in Oklahoma, but in TX you have to work thru a licensed security company. I'd google security+company+'your city name here' and see if any are excepting aps.
ReplyDeleteJust somemore info you probably already figured out on your own.
