#linked haiku

12:26 p.m. When I can’t think of anything to write about (like today), I write haiku. So today, I’ve decided, literally just now, to write a linked haiku. What about? Well, I just wrote a short article about a ghost cat. How about that? I shall write: Ghost Cat by the Sea Haiku 12:28 sea breeze passes bywithout ruffling his furghost cat waits, lonelysandy shores are home to himhe plays with…

When seeking to stun

Many use guns; I prefer

Stark terror…and fear

Heart, head, a red mist

Red pooling; quick, mute.

Such a lively dance,

Lovely red beads at your throat -

Bien sûr, not "gavotte."

To gouge his eyes out

All you need are your fingers

The weapon for Hinx

Explosion at night

Bright like midsummer’s sunset

Energy released

rain drops roll down leaves,         ripples extend, form circles, and then fade away.

                    ripples extend, fade away.               stone waits out decades,                     patient in eons’ stillness.

stone waits out eons,          watching lightning jump from clouds to strike earth below.

                    watching lightning strike below,                rejoicing in rain,                     i watch steam curl up from tea.

Snowflakes travel far Trees lose luster of their leaves born again in spring Wind in the bright trees ripples in the hidden streams Listen to the sounds The sea calls out songs Waves upon the shore sing true Water sings of life Clouds upon the bay Snails and ants upon the clay beneath the bright stars Beneath the bright stars suns and moons, whirling planets water sings of life Listen to the…

I.

The fall months are smooth

Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte

Soothing for my voice

II.

Snowflakes rush through wind

Racing on the silent breeze

Nipping at chilled cheeks

III.

Budding flowers push

Past the slush barrier here

To greet pouring rain

IV.

Suffocating heat

Engulfs the town for months
