"Haiku"

"Fine thank you. How are you?"

I've spent the morning writing a bunch of Haiku poems.

A Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking nature.

These are dreadful, I am no poet. But they are fun and quick to write. My reckoning is, write a 100, you'll have a couple real good ones.

Like the hundred monkeys in a room typing. Hahaha! Monkeys!


WHY WRITE SHORT POEMS
WHEN I OUGHT TO DO SOME WORK?
BECAUSE THEY HEAL ME


HOW DO YOU DO, SIR?
I AM LOOKING FOR A LIGHT
AND DIRECTIONS HOME


I CAN'T BREATHE SO GOOD
HEART PALPITATIONS BY SMILE
YOUR DIMPLES ARE MINT


IS THAT SNOW FALLING
OR HAS THE DEEP FRYER BURST
CAB TO THE AIRPORT


LOCOMOTIVE YOLK
LEGENDARY RUNNINESS
SHAMPOO FOR MY TOAST


SUNSHINE GO AWAY
HIDING HEAD LIKE AN OSTRICH
WAITING FOR THE MOON


I SLIP ON MY CAPE
AND LEAP FROM TALLEST ROOFTOPS
NOTHING BRINGS ME DOWN


HOW DO YOU LOOK COLD?
CAN YOUR CHEEKS GET ROSIER?
WHY WERE YOU CRYING?


SOME GUYS WANT MONEY
OTHER GUYS WANT GIRLS GALORE
I WANT PECAN PIE


OCTOBER WEEKEND
PLEASE OFFER ME SALVATION
FROM MY TOXIC LIFE


WHAT IS MORE PROFOUND
THAN A GIRL WITH CHESTNUT EYES?
MELT ME IF YOU MUST


THE FOOD ARRIVES FAST
AND IS CONSUMED FAST ALSO
WHAT TO LONG FOR NEXT?


REPEAT AFTER ME
TRUE LOVE COMES FROM THE COSMOS
BLINK AND YOU MISS IT


STOWAWAY STEPCHILD
HOW IS THIS YEAR'S FOLIAGE?
I'M A TREE, SHAKE ME


PROTECT FIVE RUN LEAD
DELIVER US FROM BALLPARK
THE BUS IS WARM AND DRY


WINTERTIME IS HERE
BUT I LEAVE THE WINDOWS UP
COLD AIR SOBERS ME
