City Haiku

I had no idea it had been this long

2009-10-25T22:41:00.000-04:00

Seriously....July? I could have sworn I posted more recently.

Anyhow, here's a couple of poems for you

Work Poem

I found a new job
Calling people I don't know
to try and sell things

Weather poem

I feel quite strongly
That October ought to be
a month without snow.

Food poem

2009-07-27T21:04:00.000-04:00

One good thing about
being extremely hungry
all is delicious

Park Poems

2009-07-27T21:03:00.000-04:00

1) Last night I rolled down
a little hill in a park;
Less fun than recalled

2)Today I saw dogs
that were playing in a park;
really very cute

Squirrel poems

2009-07-16T23:37:00.000-04:00

1) I was in the park
and two squirrels chased each other
all over the place

2)There is a squirrel
who likes to eat my flowers
I do SO hate it.

Grocery Poem

2009-07-16T23:25:00.000-04:00

the grocery store
has many cash registers
but few are open

Library Poem

2009-06-28T13:17:00.001-04:00

The library has
Many fascinating volumes
Some are in Hebrew

summer poem

2009-06-28T11:04:00.000-04:00

At night I use fans
to keep from getting too hot
at day I just sweat

Edited because I just can't spell.

bus poem

2009-06-28T11:00:00.000-04:00

The bus is early
And I miss it; so, of course
The next one is late

Pants

2009-06-21T21:55:00.001-04:00

I am disturbed 'cause
I think that my fly is down
and I just don't care

skunk poem

2009-06-20T22:19:00.000-04:00

Someone hit a skunk
down on holly acres road
now the air smells bad.

A few to get you started

2009-06-20T15:00:00.000-04:00

These are old ones that I'm putting up to get things rolling.

1) Rent is due this week
Bills scream to be paid "Now!"
let's face it, life sucks

2) Summer heat creeps in
sweat stains the sheets as we sleep
June? Too hot for love

3) With enough salsa
to mask the horrid bladness
fake beef tastes like food

4) Some english students
speak in little moth voices
and I can't hear them

5) My water bottle
is made of stainless metal
with a yellow cap

6)The students all have
electric dictionaries
but me? I have none

7) I think of stories
featuring Sherlock Holmes
for no real reason

8)Sometimes a warm coke
can energize a person
and help them learn more

9) Montreal's skyline
reaches up to the clouds
but is one colour

10) A short exercise
can take a very long time
if misunderstood

11) I read on my bed
virtually all the time
Man, I need a couch

12) The hairs on my arm
are coloured a strange two-tone
this confuses me

13) the cruel arctic wind
chills it's victims to the bone
even from afar

14) Man on the subway
sings "blowin' in the wind" twice
and annoys us all

15) The subway doors close
as I run fast to catch it
my commute gets longer

16) my grandmother's dog
is probably a demon hound
he chews everything

17) A morning pop quiz
though a good thing in theory
can shred student minds

You will note that I never said they were particularly good. Just that I occasionally write them

First post

I live in a big city. I occasionally write Haiku about...well, stuff. Things I see, things that pop into my head, that sort of thing. I've decided to start a blog devoted to them, largely because it amuses me to do so.

Enjoy. Or not. Either way really.
