Old Haiku Country Inn & Saloon

trying to take off
a man holds up two umbrellas
into the wind
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

once bent in the wind
snow

the decades have passed
but i can't forget
how we laid in the grass
the soft grass
along by the creek

mourn for the born
I used to be smart.

just sittin here thinkin
about gone haiku
wrote three in a dream
woke so suddenly wide awake
not a chance to write them down
but still a trace in memory
tried to write them down but
it was just a shadow of what they were
don't ya mourn for me Susannah
it's just my neurosis :lol:

haiku dream
of blood chords
with heart beats alarm

sleeping and breathing
when one stops
a sudden wake up?

forgotten now
but not lost entirely
Should have wrote it down
I used to be smart.

the days rolling by like summer vacation
in the middle of February
