In the spirit of writing about some different things this week, I decided to go REALLY different today. Remember back in high school when you actually had to explore various different types of writing? Creative writing, business writing, resumes, and of course, poetry. Well it has probably been a good five years since I have even thought of the word Haiku, but I have always found them to be very intriguing in their simplicity. You can say a lot in 17 syllables.
For the past week or so I have been writing random poems as they have come into my head, and today is the day I am going to share them with you. I would definitely appreciate some feedback on this one. Want to see similar posts? Hate the idea? Tell me about it! Even better, come up with one of your own and share it in the comments!
So without further ado:
Doing what you want
Whenever you feel like it
Is really hard work
–
Travel and business
The lifestyle of my choice
Look to the future
–
A question is posed
Anything is possible
–
Biggest Decision
Of your life until right now
Make it a good one
–
Changed the lives of so many
Including my own
–
Start with a small change
The bigger ones will come soon
Forget past mistakes
–
The Chris Guillebeau
Does what so many want to
But very few can
–
Let your readers choose
Where you are going to live
That is Colin Wright
–
Slow start this morning
Must come from within
–
There are huge rewards
If you are willing to work
But the price is great
–
Jump through hoops no more
I’m done with the suit and tie
Live life on my terms

OMG, I’ve been haiku’d!
Loving this. Tweeted and Stumbled!
Hey Sean – my favorite is the first one. It’s very true. Doing whatever you want, whenever you want to do it is actually tougher than people think. Planning out the expenses and making something affordable can be tough.
I’m far from a poetry fan, but I did enjoy this. Quick, easy to read, and you were able to make a few of them be only 3 lines and incredibly insightful.
Nice work. Like Rich wrote, the first one is my favorite.
Oh wow, Sean Ogle
Keeping bloggers on our toes
Poetic pixels
My brain hurts when I
Count every damn syllable
Thanks a lot, you jerk.
What a great blog post
I’m taken back to Japan
How bout some green tea?
Your haikus are much better than mine. Well except for Tyler’s. I am not a jerk. Although I guess I do feel his pain haha.
Thanks for all the comments, I thought it was time a little change of pace with some of the writing. So I appreciate the feedback!

Really really really like this post. A Haiku is so simple, yet so deep at the same time.
I once had a best friend named Sean
Who hated working all day long
But it still came as a shock
That he was bound for Bangkok
And spent his days writing poems and songs
Grammar nice but hard –
So without further ado,
I bid you adieu.
Thanks Susan
