Collected Haiku #32

 ...

your words are kindness
incarnate: golem not of
stone, rather feathers

...

paralyzation
is chained fists; meditation
hands free to fortune

...

"I have a loose tooth!"
kid declares, "the fairy will
leave me a coin, right?"

...

if raindrops left slight
impressions in the pavement
umbrellas of steel

...

when you sing your song
my audience falls silent
delighted to hear

...

crescent waves at dawn
brittle shells crunch underfoot
toes on a moon beach

...

grizzly bears ablaze
brave lava tributaries
for schools of steel fish

...

very few poems
seep genuine water in
arid creekbed eyes

...

connection physics
state that energy equals
time spent together

...

  1. Once you get started you discover so much of every day life happens in haiku... or haiku happens in so much of every day life, which ever is more accurate.
