I woke up to sun
what a difference a day makes!
twelve miles with Nate Cook

I have braved the cold
many a morning as this
today, I concede

the octaves! the trills!
the pedal-to-the-metal
fearless nonchalance

I’ve taken a break
from my ‘haiku-a-day’ plan;
today I’ll jump back in

I’m awake, somewhat;
with a cup of strong coffee
waiting for my run
