#haiku

a little frog
sits on a warm rock
busy relaxing

a stalactite gleams
black water drips
the only sound

a white-powdered landscape
sunbeams illuminate
nothing

a November breeze
one palo verde blooms
anyway

moonlight
cool air on my skin
the blanket's smell

eight doves on a wire
together
friends on bar stools

marred by insults
the heart heals with time
scar tissue remains

Unfortunately English is not my native language, so the numbers may not match...

Haiku written by a Banana Who Was a Liar

Every banana
you throw will fly back to your
hand. Try! Only try!

Haiku written by Emancipated Dentures

We jumped out of the
mouth of our owner, and now
we are on our own!

Haiku written by the Lottery Company

Unfortunately,
the Lottery Winner died
of a heart attack

child rider
free to follow the light—
a seeker of love’s embrace

always seeking the sun
while tied to the earth

reader of the codes
that are interwoven
in the fabric
between then & now
between heaven & earth

seeds that grow
in the life force
that surrounds us all
to rise above the earth
only to be buried once more

pushing ahead
slowly, back against the sun—
it’s step by step for some
and careless joy
for the ones they carry
