rocking the 5-7-5

am in love with haikus today. never wrote them before now.

exercise#chinatown
she had even more
character than the red wooden
sign hung overhead

phylum and suicide
in the lab I think
in green, forgetful of your
multipurpose blade.
hyperion
I like to pretend
that your wildly flashing pen
does not inspire me.
African Jazz
when you look my way
my body turns African;
I think in rhythms.
exercise#18- vienna

he watched her mouth moving-
he thought it a waltz.
Brooksie and Ginsberg
I never thought blood
from my lips could fall down so
like tomato juice.
exercise #76- costa rica
search a bit harder;
I know you'll find cane sugar
hidden in the trash.
