Where free range verse feigns docility

A haiku a day for a year

The day earns its name
The neighborhood at slumber
I'm outside first thing

#385

Saturday, September 29, 2007

Performances viewed
One is ghoulish, other not
Remember improv

#384

Friday, September 28, 2007

Since before haiku
Absence had been established
Ice cream thaws the frost

#383

Through silence, rumbles
Some drifting off to dreamland
Some remain focused

#382

Wednesday, September 26, 2007

Plentiful numbers
But bigger is not better
Attempts not funny

Tuesday, September 25, 2007

#381

Fifty years honored
Once falcon, always falcon
Hands flapping with pride

#380

The verdict is in
Little darlings are guilty
Or was it glasses?

Sunday, September 23, 2007

#379

All at once is both
Actually neither too
Omelet and gyros?

#378

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2007

From sipping champagne
To mixed drinks and bass at bar
Company is best

#377

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2007

Telltale clatter; noise
Signals joyful reunion
Screams and suitcases

Thursday, September 20, 2007

#376

Evasive chatter
Number cannot be defined
Decision to make?

#375

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2007

Not friends, exactly
But handshakes and hugs exchanged
Thank yous make me smile

Tuesday, September 18, 2007

#374

Over a week passed
We catch up over Thai food
"Why not?" says fortune

Monday, September 17, 2007

#373

Always dynamic
Haiku resists stagnation
Letters and numbers

Sunday, September 16, 2007

Purple, the color
Amazing stage performance
Undergarments match

Saturday, September 15, 2007

No trip to fuel pump
Hybrid unnecessary
Miles on the merrells

Friday, September 14, 2007

A friend's new milestone
Celebration in order
Abode marked with wine

Thursday, September 13, 2007

Is this the last time?
Resounding thud of wood soles
Retired for the cold?

Wednesday, September 12, 2007

Crackers and spoon
Eating at keyboard again
Real dinner at ten

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

The journey's end looms
A challenge issued and met
Bittersweet finish

Monday, September 10, 2007

Valuable space, filled
Lyrics and notes like sardines
A constant soundtrack

Sunday, September 9, 2007

Dancing in yellow
Night becomes day - movie watched?
A lack of coupons?!

Saturday, September 8, 2007

A husband and wife
A ceremony creates
First dance brings my tears

Friday, September 7, 2007

Lacquer is applied
Socially enforced sheen made
Not on wood, but hands

Thursday, September 06, 2007

Fraught with frustration
The countdown is underway
Celebration near

Wednesday, September 5, 2007

A very long day
Initial punctuation
Lights out, I'm all done

Tuesday, September 04, 2007

Sometimes their requests
Make me feel very needed
Mostly quite tired

Monday, September 03, 2007

The big day draws near
My list of to dos is long
Happy in a week

Sunday, September 2, 2007

A happy return
Not of pants, shoes, or dresses
Just of me to home

Saturday, September 1, 2007

Echoes could have rung
Freedom of space; novelty
Silent flight through dark

Friday, August 31, 2007

Amazing spa day
Massage, heat, falling water
A Vegas snowstorm?

Thursday, August 30, 2007

Dance until morning
Love studio of numbers
New friends, same old place

Wednesday, August 29, 2007

Analyze suitcase
Contents suggest heat and fun
Journey to desert
