Where the hills have eyes.,and it's HOT!
Eyes squint, nose crinkles
Toxic smell rolls over us
Please, please, wash your gi!

The children’s eyes shine;
even when they see that the
world does not, always


Counting syllables?
Like autumn leaves on the wind,
poetry is free
Gliding wind on road
Morning fog- smells of sea spray
Suzuki Skywave


Conformity rules
A thousand cherry blossoms
All pink, all perfect.


Snowflakes fall lightly
Onto black piles of fresh coal:
Chiaroscuro!


Being/ nothingness.
winter sky mirror clear to
void between the stars



Sack full of kittens
wriggles above the lake-splash!
summer's entertainment

Cat's eyes cross inward
when held by head around neck
just before ball peen hits

Meat, onions peppers
in savory winter chile sauce
yummy cat stir-fry.

Kitten hops as brick
bounces in dryer set high
Open beer, and laugh...

Really I like cats
it's just that I can never
finish a whole one


Yeah, I know I'm sick
it's just that the U.S. says
I'm really okay......

Sadness of dresses
burning on the solstice fire
too bad she can't see....

Automobile speeds
to winters final stop-crash!
concrete abutment.

Cold eyes star toward
each other with longing-springs
cadaver liovers

Mother carries child
down to river's edge in fall
to bathe, or to drown?

Bright blue flash and clap
thuinder of ten thousand suns
flash outward into....


Throb in jaw like sun’s
Mercurial summer heat
Rotten tooth hangs on...

Circling vultures dive
Onto summer’s rotting dead
Carrion-a feast!

Boring meetings sit
On a warm afternoon-snore!
And after lunch, too!


Three geese walk one spring
into a bar-wait,this is
haiku, not a joke

Haiku can be hard.
Difficult to make sense of.
Refrigerator.


That rough beast shuffles
nothing to be done for it
run for the hills,
now…

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high

Newspaper taxies appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone

Picture yourself in a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Space is limited
In a haiku, so it's hard
To finish what you

Haikus are easy,

But sometimes they don't make sense

Really? :rollseyes:

Plagiarism rules
Haiku poetry for fools
Exacerbation

Stab you in the neck
Then have my way, what the heck?
Necrophilia

But, but, that's nasty!
be careful who you threaten
Intimidation.
Rereread... the op... found is fair game.

Life when troubles assault,

strengthens your spirit within,

when you on Christ stand.
