To die
in a hippo's jaws --
the lettuce's bliss
2
Remorseful
for tearing up a violet
so I ate it
3
On T.V. a spider
liquifies a frog --
spring in Kansas City
4
In spring
a stone mason --
servant of the endless wall
5
Skin
smooth and white --
the pyramid's youth

I am particularly fond of "Skin" and how it makes me pause and ponder different things: youth, puberty, ancient religions/cultures (Egypt, Mayan, Aztec), desert, jungle, textures (smooth v. rough/sand/stone). Thanks for this one. Keep posting!

ReplyDeleteJohn -- I know this was posted quite a while ago and you have not posted recently; I hope all is well with you. I have just discovered your blog and am really impressed (this sequence in particular is a favorite). I'm in the beginning stages of learning about haiku myself and am fascinated by the different styles and traditions. I'm trying to write and post haiku every day on my blog, hope you can stop by. haikuproject.wordpress.com
