Haiku, Book Three

Laundry

The smell of liquor
aged five, six, seven hours -
stains hard to remove.

Infatuation

The tip of the tongue
enjoys the ringing diction;
Remember the name.

Possible Situations

If only I could 
rest my leg near another's
longer than I had -

Why Write Haiku

The idle mind is
a dying mind; these are nights
when I lie rotting.

Preoccupation

But the brain consumes
all that the brain can and will.
See you later, blog.

Haiku, Book Two

End of something

We "have had," years past
Never "will have", not again:
end of a story.

Dreams

Underneath eyelids,
mind turns into gossamer:
colors everywhere.

Apprehension

Like a marathon:
legs begin to fade into
a street of people.

Big Words

You, Gossipmonger,
Fabricate in Grecism -
Audience of skeptics.

Stranger

It is funny how
you know too much about a
person you don't know.

Haiku, Book One

Crickets

They are bells that ring
Tonight, a lone orchestra -
She stops to listen.

Compromises

You, me. No one knows
what our hands are for, or do
they clap for others?

On: Death

Blank sheet of paper,
No more ink, diary ends
in unfinished sen--

 Birthdays

Sorry, I forgot;
It is not my best habit.
I'll bring you cake soon.

Love

Some French, German names
(of course, postmodernism - )
we don't understand.
