thursday thirteen (#9)

Thirteen haiku for your Thursday enjoyment. As you can see, I tend toward the light verse in favor of the serious, traditional poetry. The ones in purple I wrote while on a business trip a few years ago. Crowded room, white noise Witness my enlightened truth Hey, is this thing on? A haiku I wrote. Magnetic poetry rocks. Blogging makes it so. coffee-stained papers crumpled on an airplane seat haiku from the road smiling stewardess no, I don't wear red makeup ink stains... damn pen leaked! big mac for dinner taxi stinks like an ashtray how was your flight, sir? sudden gusts of wind sweep across bare, white plateau farts in hotel bed channels mislabled Law & Order on AGAIN?! I wish I could sleep empty, hot darkness pale voices adrift outside one pillow vacant forty-dollar steak worth every penny I spent it was your money when will this day end? clock, in slow motion, ticks once vacation pending clear-cut, barren hill no more old growth, no new seeds receding hairline sweet, wet, wretched stench slime oozes, something sticky take out the garbage! ... sweet, wet, wretched stench slime oozes, something sticky don't elect that guy! long, smooth cylinder two double-A's bring such joy plastic submarine And one more just because hey, it's my blog: pain, anguish released willful fury, cold attack pen touches blank page
