Haiku

Hazy afternoon

Clouds waiting for a signal

Shade my heart instead

Haiku - Steampunk

Black smoking engines

Flame through darkened mists of night

The music of steam

Haiku

Cold wind, blustery

Blowing through open windows

Cuts through open souls

Looking to Heaven

Yet I, standing still earth bound

Pray for redemption

Haiku - Edible Book Tea

Crowd mills around room

Conversations flowing free

Eating others words

Written during a local Edible Book Tea.  These are really fun events, centered around the creation of book related edible art, which is then consumed at the tea.  My past favorites include “War in Peas”, complete with a miniature battlefield sprinkled with peas, and “Tequila Mockingbird”, go figure.  At any rate, I recommend trying to attend one some time, or better yet, plan your own.  Just remember to send me an invite.  Tequila Mockingbird, yeah…

Zombies dance stiff leg

Shaking their rotting asses

Who says the walking dead can’t party down?  Maybe they are just looking for a night on the town…

Haiku - of the living dead

The dead are rising

Rotting coffins giving birth

Children of the fall

Haiku - My first…

Rainy day simple

A black crow walks by

I, wondering why, still here

 

-1998 Zero Anon  - This is the fist haiku I wrote as an adult.  (I’m sure we must have written them in school sometime.)  Though I did not use the 5-7-5 syllable structure, I did manage to get 17 syllables on 3 lines.  This poetic form began my slow return to the world of poetry.  It really is the little things, isn’t it?

Tanka/Haiku Set - Remembering George and Audrey

Let’s throw mad parties

Steal masks from the five and dime

Just because we can

Climb up, down the fire escape

Love each other in the end

 

Moonlight drifts through black

Like a river among stones

The past, washed away

 

You can be Audrey

I’ll be George, we’ll play the parts

Like an old movie

Doing things we’ve never done

End it kissing in the rain
