BONUS TIME!
The following are haikus of mine that have been previously published somewhere else. This dozen DOES NOT count towards my 365, but I wanted to post them anyway. The last one is an exception to the general haiku rule of a single verse. It was written after Hurricane Ike.
Scared
---
Two strange spots on her
Mammogram and ultrasound.
It's biopsy time.
Obvious
---
Hey - wait a minute!
Isn't there supposed to be
A haiku here? . . . Oh.
Alive
---
I drag my cute ass
Out of bed every morning
To spite depression.
Love
---
She gently teaches
That love transcends obstacles.
Every day I learn.
Peace
---
I need to unwind;
Peace and calm are what I want.
Nastiness begone!
Problems
---
Harried and horny -
The banes of my existence.
Neither will endure!
Time
---
No time for shopping,
No time for decorating,
No time to panic!
Marriage
---
Disease, poverty,
The endless winter of war -
Children should not die!
Lunch
---
Empty and angry,
My stomach just keeps growling
"Where the hell is lunch?"
Doggie
---
Snarling ugly dog
charges unprotected me.
These are nice-sized rocks.
Music
---
In the dusty room
a broken piano leans.
No more music here.
Aftermath
---
Winds, rains and flooding:
Everyone here has been touched.
Stupid hurricane!
We have no power
Nor damage nor injuries.
We have family.
