haiku macho

[jimboloco]

haikus are reserved
for like sake and plumtrees,
polite samurai scribblers

from the imagination jam #2,


and a posting of haiku to not exactly counter, i mean the assertion was written so slick, like, sake and plumtrees, hey, i dig it, just wanna set this all in perspective, oh trembling fluffy haiku poetz!


Gary Snyder's Haiku


Hiking in the Totsugawa Gorge
pissing
watching a waterfall

---------------------------------------------------

the boulder in the creek never moves
the water is always falling
together!

This morning:
floating face down in the water bucket
a drowned mouse.

leaning in the doorway whistling
a chipmunk popped out
listening



a butterfly
scared up from its flower
caught by the wind and swept over the cliffs

Skirt blown against her hips, thighs, knees
hair over her ears
climbing the steep hill in high-heeled shoes

check out my haiku post about ren&'s quote that all haiku poetz are plum blossoms
and birdie poop.

Yeah I liked it a lot thanks Jim. Ren&s that is a new one on me. I was spending four or five hours a day on Studio Eight, too much fun. I been reading again, for months I have not been able to read, I mean sit down with a book and read for a couple of hours, too restless. I will probably post this one to you soon. I just don't want to spend so much time on studio eight. Have you ever seen a strange little flick called Buckeroo Bonzai, nice picture inspired this one.

Haiku Buckeroo*
Cowboy buddha troubadour
No sword, no weapons



Gary Snyder Knows:

WHY LOG TRUCK DRIVERS RISE EARLIER THAN STUDENTS OF ZEN

In the high seat, beforedawn dark,
Polished hubs gleam
And the shiny diesel stack
Warms and flutters
Up the Tyler Road grade
To the logging on Poorman creek.
Thirty miles of dust.
There is no other life.
- Gary Snyder

To paraphrase the great German philosopher and NFL linebacker Frederick Nitzke, "the artist is the manure from which his art grows"
If that is true then Bats would be our greatest poets, nothing better than bat shit crazy haiku poets.

thanks pal

This morning:
floating face down in the water bucket
a drowned mouse.

Drowned mouse
Autopsy
Ruled a suicide

Death by drowning
Alcohol involved?
No just water

[jimboloco]

a rat from the alley
water in a garden pot
lonesome rodent friend

[mousey1]

rats in the alley
bats in the belfry
lonesome no more



face up
gazing skyward
I backstroke on outta here



talk the talk
swim the swim
flush me down I'll cling to the rim

[stilltrucking]

cat tracks on the rim
backing out of here
surf the woof

[jimboloco]

pet rat
secret friend
alley ally

roto rooter
on a scooter
backstroke puter ku

[stilltrucking]

pet rat
pet snake
balance of nature

silicon pal
pet rock
woofing and worfing

fragile fabric
free speech
weaving on the spider web


Bird flu
gives a pleasant perspective
to global warming

Cultrues rise and fall
every time the wheel goes round
bound to cover a little more ground

pot ain't ku
neither are these
three line somthings

Said bye me
$1.74

doing money
just another drug
I needed that flower

trying to make sense of hitler
Hai, easily done
Bush another matter

dollar signs inboth his eyes
the thrill it will getcha
ain't it a shame?

[gypsyjoker]

talk the talk
swim the swim
flush me down I'll cling to the rim

hanging ten
mouse surfs Coriolis
beauty floats

movie line ku

Do the voices in my head
the god's must be crazy
bother you?

binged buddha
early to bed
early riser

for the long haul
love is best
without expectations

like every litkick user id that ever got deleted is coming back to visit. but I don't wear different hats, maybe that would help
