Trying to be more diligent about keeping track of my ku. Here's this month's output so far. I will update it as necessary. Surprisingly, it's been a very productive month. I'm thinking about doing the Haiku a day thing every month and not just during NaPoMo.
Full moon
The half of the Oreo
with the stuff
Daydreamer
now a citizen of the
imagination
Carolina dawn
Rising up the flagpole
a woman's hands
Milky Way
Between the stars
Ahmad Jamal's fingers
Empty crayon box
Our son gets a taste
of the blues
Memorial Day
Strewn about the beach
Lorna Doones
Scraps of tires
The flatness of a tern
in the road
Urbane graffiti
Only the expletive
written in cursive
A black cat
settles on the windowsill
October nightfall
Deepening sunset
A pickup's Rebel flag
shrinks in the distance
A bluebird rises
from a budded branch
April daybreak
White cat
Bloody pause
Nine lives gone
The largest hand
sprinkles the Truffle Salt
Father's Day
Summer Solstice
A Father's hand lengthens
a girl's smile
There to prey
The sight of a rifle in the
Sanctuary
Still rippling over
Charleston South Carolina
Battle Flag
The curl
of a dead boy's fingers
A toy gun
This woman's white hair
How majestic the crown
of those mountains
Prayer meeting
The expressions on faces
outside the church
Not a prayer
The echo of a rifle
through the Pews
Moonrise
Only the cue ball
left on the table
Spin Cycle
Abe Vigoda is dead
again
Wave after wave
Falling onto the beach
Boardwalk tourists
Green light
Cars wend around the fountain
Zazen
June afternoon
The Italian Ice man
shaves smiles
Knot
composed of cords
or net
Cold man
A Shake of jazz to come
Free with Cherry
Rainy day
Our son only seems to know
words that end in Why
Ornate coal man
Mellow descends a fair well
drifts in the missed
Frost on
the rear windshield
Snow moon
Grain moon
A crescent of cake waning
in the urinal
Summer night
the beach fills with
sound of waves
Day after Xmas
throwing out my back
with the trash
Back alley
Written in cursive
his pee
Afternoon fog
low door jamb
sudden sprinkle
JV Football
My son goes to the pine
to learn about pine
Black Hawk on a breeze
The Last Diné Code Talker
rises
Basketball court
Two crows caw
Next game
Dinner time
the open mouths of
slot machines
Gardenias
The blind man's cane
skips a beat
Lying
over the numbers
Spread sheets
Cannabis seeds
My mother startled
by a roach
Bouquet of Roses
The skin on her collar bone
blooms
Detached houses
The distant eyes of the new
neighbors
The oak's roots
raise blocks of the walkway
Daddy's fingers
Divorse papers
We spot the typo
together
June sunset
How softly the petals
flutter down
And until next we meet, may all your potatoes be sweet (and dusted with cinnamon.)
