May | 2015 | Haiku Journey

haiku master

When I read Basho,

Thoughts of order and beauty,

Not just bashed out.

When I have time to,

think of things to do, it is,

time out of order.

Stacked up like fish

In the market of the mind

Old haikus rotting!

Rushing into Summer,

when longer days imply more time,

we seem to have less time.

Haiku needs three more,

And this line needs two more too

Before it’s Haiku.

Bassins, Capital Hill,

soulful singer between acts,

early Roberta Flack.

I threw out haikus,

at day’s end, just in play.

Just because I could.
