“Read my poem? Please?”
In real life I’d get blank stares.
Here, you’re back for more.

Just over five months
This one four hundred fifty
Art or wasted time?

A haiku a day?
Not quite. Some days the tap runs,
some days it’s bone dry.

Mud has a smell that’s
like waking up to coffee.
You know you’re alive.

the constant dripping
nature’s tears of joy as she
sees her world reborn

The equinox means
equal night and day worldwide
yin and yang of light.

Days grow longer like
smiles that stretch wider as one
greets a long lost friend.

‘Beware!’ Caesar was
told. Like teens in horror films
he didn’t listen.

What’s that mean? That spring’s
a dominatrix, whipping
March ’til it submits?

Headgear gone wild I
tip my hat to idiots
who have flipped their lids.

Reclaiming the word,
she grabs the bitch by the horns
and makes us all proud.

With all this trash talk
even the winner comes out
smelling like garbage.

for jem who says, “it’s your last lines that get me everytime.

I’d like to think of
myself as the O. Henry
of the haiku form.

Could Cameron Diaz
maybe have done her hair? That
ponytail  so wrong.

Anyone who makes
Ryan Seacrest sweat deserves
a special Oscar.

Secretive. Works for
the CIA. Won’t say where
it’s been for four years.

Like the extra hour
when we fall ahead, this one
day a trick in time.

That you’ve found me and
read my life in seventeen
syllables floors me.

Like a lover who
wanders I return here to
check in now and them

Accomplished nothing
’til I took Motrin a whip
that tamed this tiger

J9 can’t sleep since
her mother died stays up and
writes heartache in tears.

Today J begins
flying not yet a driver
the sky’s the limit

We drive to where his
girlfriend’s dad says the haunted
tunnel is. We freak.

He drank to excess
so why am I the one with
the splitting headacne?
