my life is a mess
but this moment is perfect
my life is perfect
senryu
human-nature haiku
Writing up a storm
phoenix monsoon storm
haboob isn’t dirty word
it is dusty though
Inflame
the world we abuse
roasting us like marshmallows
in a fire we lit
Dark thoughts
how the nighttime looks
during a power outage
is how night should look
$ick
in this day and age
dealing with health insurance
worst disease of all
“All complaints about life today will be ignored unless they are submitted in the format of elegant haiku poetry.”
Storm story
princess lightning reigned
it was a dark and stormy
knight to fall in love
Wizen
but on the bright side
middle age aridity
concentrates essence
Accelerant
our apocalypse
once in ultra slow motion
now on fast forward
Big city night
oh my gosh is that a star
in bright city sky?
nope! police helicopter
Finally a bath!
watching birds splash in
morning-after rain puddles
cleanses my spirit
Small things
Small daily events
wrap tendrils about the heart
and keep it floating.
—Cave Outlaw (1900–1996), Autumn Walk, 1974
Bedwriting
it’s smart as can be
things that make sense in our dreams
when we wake — insane
Westerly
sunset casts shadows
yet we see only colors
and glorious light
