2017 haiku parade

[sasha]

taking a piss:
watching water in the bowl
turn pale yellow

LOL

taking a piss
the yellow rivulets
flowing downhill

[judih]

darkness to darkness
sun has other plans
as the earth revolves

[saw]

frost on the mums
mid-atlantic meets
old man autumn

[sasha]

autumn morning
a flock of wild turkeys
huddled for warmth

[68degrees]

never can understand
how one comment causes hate,
spits out as venom

[judih]

past deeds
subconscious wear and tear
chance to purify

[saw]

black vulture in a cage
he seemed so sad
when i spoke to him

he came closer to me
and cocked his head
he can no longer fly

nature center claims
he is injured
but maybe euthanasia

would be more humane
bald eagle too
he refused to look at me

[sasha]

too much stuff
these holy relics
to false gods

old 8-track tapes
my college report cards
DOS manuals

broken lamp
two projector screens
begone, all

home from the dump
both my car and my heart
a bit lighter

[judih]

crash and burn
rise in merriment
2 sides same story

.

after retreat
messages received
spirit enrichment

[68degrees]

empathy empty
in a mad world these long days
too few care to care

[sasha]

topozone
virtual hiking
for wet days

[saw]

big rain from Phillipe
as he skirts the coast
all dressed up in dark gray

[68degrees]

it snowed yesterday
and yet another winter
comes blowing in soon

[judih]

a day late
yesterday's news
less frightening

[saw]

stayed up late
doing my favorite thing
conversation
