Lonely small town girl
Bad boy. Fast car. Alcohol.
Tragedy ensues.

a disburbing prose
designed to get tension
might not need answers...

so we leave it here
read, green, blue, and so on,
angry sounds of loss

Romantic Christmas Memories

Approximately 50,000 universes explode in my left nostril, the sparkly bursting lights reminding me of dead Christmases past with all the bright green and red pools of bloody wrapping around the memories of grandparents and dinners that are no more and never to be again. The farce-ness of it all, the dead curb-side forests after New Years

mmhmm, we all live
in our own little realms of
existence, bubbles

who said no man is
an island. thomas meron
I think, he died from

an electric fan
during a shower and this
way to go, not cool

tolkien wrote in his
fantasy writing the world
of his creation

was sung into be
a discordant voice, a
dark lord sang his own

in his myth this voice
brought evil into that world
but the song was sung

the song would be sung
again, when the time came to
make it all anew

sometimes meaningful
often whistled out of tune
haiku is a song

looking for reasons
predicting inspiration
pointless cogitation

sometimes you get it
other times it's a conundrum
it doesn't matter

sounds as if zounds a
golem has walked from rabbis
halls, seeking revenge

for working sabbath
a man of clay, only shut down
when God becomes Death

what was the old gen
x stereotype, cobain or
to fade away, to step

back from the limelight
and to settle down, the
fourth turning then?

you have families
maybe. people love, die, breathe
believe, disbelieve

transcendence was a
lost art perhaps to those who
forget to transcend

still though life goes on
I repeat over the years we don't
know one another for

real, just what we read
here, of each other, I would either
hate or like you as

I deem fit over
time and likewise, or not care
likewise. wish I could

passion is better
than delayed suicide, because
so much powdered words

are just dead dust with
no water, no life, just dust mites
posing as writers

well I'm glad I care
because I can't be the person
who is too cool for school
Haiku # 48924, July 17, 2012 1:20 pm ET

and I care too much
because I am not wired
to be a "aesthete"

that is whatever
passes here for "great haiku"
is a relic of

Gen X past

it is a point of view that
one feels of the self

given my real life
sucks I might give in and give up
never having known

a permanent hope
or a place of my own or

where have all the spots
to sit in gone, to write and
lead thoughts on paper

obsolete to think
in such a way, private thoughts
are now a dead thing

from a rope in a room dead
giving into words

thoughts, fears, comments, I

then again why not
even bother, let those damned

if you adopt a
faith in the process you might
feel less apt to be

self worshiping types
were I your server at a

when chickens rule their
roost, the best thing to do is
to go around them

this is how new schools
