2017 haiku parade

[sasha]

simple pleasures
the smell of fresh bedsheets
dried in the sun

[the mingo]

( for ol' Basho who was so up fucked & so fished out he forgot mentioning all the ways you could look at a thing )

one snake
one amphibian screaming
halfway down the reptile throat

[sasha]

morning walk
I stop to help a newt
cross the road

[judih]

*animal theme day

take to the water
follow the manatee
inherent message

[saw]

striped bird feathers
on the sidewalk in front
I take this as a good omen

[judih]

news or no news
to pay attention or not -
not easy these days

[judih]

a flock of birds
just before sunset
pink mottled sky

[saw]

I'm starving for answers
that will never come
I've never been a realist

[judih]

new environment
plants adjust -
can I?

[saw]

heading to the woods
to feel the earth go dark
then light up again

[judih]

simple
day becomes night
resistance useless

[judih]

elbows and knees
dreams and connections
safe navigation

[judih]

when dreams turn kitsch
no choice but awakening
four thirty a.m.

[the mingo]

I'm nervous.

say action
or say shit

[saw]

action
shit
cut
