Miscellaneous Haiku

One dimension back
I watch me act as myself
A witness to the play

Painted like a whore
Natural beauty obscured
Scrub your face naked

At the contra dance
Huge fat Hawaiian – surprise!
He flows like water

Wood stove fire spirit
Wildly flails for freedom
Its fuel is its chain

Wood stove’s glass window
In wide-screen movie format
Better than TV!

Grand experience
But no words to describe it
Read more poetry

My novel wakes me
Seventeen times in the night
Bloodshot eyes twinkling

Of course I love you
My vile, vindictive harpy
I love a challenge

Airplane door opens
Jump instructor yells, “Go! Now!”
Embrace the terror

Just say what I mean?
That’s like talking on paper
This is poetry

In this TV world
Five percent read for pleasure
Better read for two!

Strange delicacy
Sucking the sparrow marrow
Out of hollow bones

Four and a half years
Of unconditional love
To be replaced by…

When is a song done?
Never – each new listener
Makes new alchemy
