There was no haiku yesterday, so we’ll remedy that today!
pine cones kicked through grass
this hot tree-shaking wind
makes me forget it’s winter

with her back arched
she presses her head into my palm
and purrs

The
Friday
Haiku
a thousand red eyes
we sit paralyzed, unmoving
traffic jam
Poem 20150101
new year’s day, the wind is still
my neighbors burn old documents
cleaning out their garage

It’s the Friday Haiku!
in her warm bed
the black and white cat curls up
yin and yang
Poem 20141205
Time for another Friday haiku.
in the lamp’s halo
a thousand wet shining jewels
rainstorm at sunset
Poem 20141128
It’s Friday Haiku time!
Ready to write when
The cat on my lap jumps down
For a still, warm spot

Hey. it’s Friday. Let’s try a haiku.
Every teacher assigns these little jewels to their students because they’re just three lines, right? and you just have to have the right number of syllables. I know after reading them and reading about them that it’s not that simple to distill a single moment into something so compact. But I love haiku.
on this cloudy day
the hens loiter near the coop
while a hawk watches
