When I read haiku I hear them in the voice of Lovely Barry White. Call me Sir Speedy I am a great thresher shark I will eat you up Flying planes is fun And so is scuba diving I like to pretend Stone Pine digs its roots far beneath the whole city; Hear the tranquil sea. Champion of seat belts, airbags and drinking age: Elizabeth Dole! I love to travel And stay in beautiful lands I jump up and down

Florida is hot I whine sadly and sweat lots Quench it with ice cream Tiny giggles sing Happily above the haze Tickle the mundane Haiku are awesome But sometime I don’t get them Dumbo octopus! I think I have a meeting but I’m not sure if he’s still coming?! My toilet won’t flush So I punched a hole in it And now it flushes! I went to Austin To see black bats from a bridge They did not take me

Having it all is Not the same as having it Together,  I learned. Be true, you haiku! What else could I do to you? But to thine be true. It's her conundrum Enrique or Matty D She falls for hero! Toats, adorbs, cray cray. Huh? What’s that? Is this English? I feel old, how sad. Love to sing it Like to scream it all about Haiku is awesome!

Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp A cricket? A bird? No. It’s… The fire alarm. Eyes flutter, breathe slows My words begin to wander Oh, glorious sleep! Instantly the ball is encircling the Earth: World Cup has begun. She seems so normal The destroyer of all worlds Drinking sweet iced tea. In French, s’il vous plait Digging back to high school French Or Google Translate

Blue like the ocean. Stars like in the atmosphere. Red white stripes; ‘MUURKA. In tangled vines A ruby ripe for picking Strawberry season! I tried to shower The water won't turn off now Why did I move here? Rows line up in rain, Tassels that swing will now drip, heavy of promise. In the museum, The woman eating looks real. Up close: not so much.

Veronica Mars, X-men, and lemon bars make Sister time so fun. Went to CVS Tree killing receipt so long Only bought one thing My former roommate Bullet proof Oakleys, he loves Squint eye he still gives

On a lovely walk I find a four leaf clover My wish? A secret!   Has the earth revolved ‘Round the sun once more? What fun! Happy Day of Birth!   Ackbar, are we safe? Silently their gazes ask; “It’s a trap!” says he.

Why take three hours When you can do it in one? Oh, meetings are hell.   Let’s go food shopping With folks from other countries They like Trader Joes   Kroger had a sale PB cracker sandwiches Good stuff, for reals

Every day in spring With imaginary dogs Out for a long walk   Dark grey, loud and strong Rain has passed. Here comes the sun. What’s up Roy G. Biv?   A bright sunny day Is now a mere memory Thunder rolls softly
