haiku - NaHaiWriMo ~ doors

NaHaiWriMo prompt for April 28 was "doors"


revolving doors
I am not the one to tell you
to decide

*

revolving doors
it was never a question
of if

*

revolving doors
I slip in an out
of a dream

*

revolving doors -
the world is
and is not

*

revolving doors -
I too am rooted in
perpetual movement

*

revolving doors -
dandelions grow and die
in the quantum field

*

revolving doors
this time I can't both
stay and leave

haiku - NaHaiWriMo ~ wind

NaHaiWriMo April 19: wind


making good for my absence
I curl a wind
around a graveyard dafodil

:::

spring wind

in a pink housecoat

the neighbor flips fags into the pond

:::

carried by the wind
the noisy arrival
of the first commonswifts

:::

April wind -

I'm through reporting

your whereabouts

:::

making room for the wind

I clear a table

with a view

:::

April wind ...
it could be
this simple

NaHaiWriMo prompt for April 16

"birds of prey"

buzzard
now I'm glad
I'm not a mouse

-

an eagle
in our Coat of Arms -
this land of sparrows

-

funeral bells
the kestrel takes off
before the sermon

-

sleepless
the owls, I imagine,
hoot in morse-codes

-

by the rails
a young buzzard sizing up
the 2 o'clock train

-

lunchbox of tofu-tuna
vegan peguins
trying hard

haiku - NaHaiWriMo ~ music

I've been participating in NaHaiWriMo (National Haiku Writing Month - which seems to have turned out a rather internal event). Each day there's a given subject. Today the subject was "music". I wrote more than I published on the Facebook site, so here they are:

night had a voice -
now even darkness
is a little darker

walking the rain dogs -

Alice in red shoes

on Skid Row

(Tom Waits)

*

disintegrating cities -

to be sane in an

insane world

(Einstürzende Neutbauten)

*

Lachrymae Antiqua -
I've got recent tears to
pull on your string


through the lachrymal canal
we dance a pavane
of the slowest kind


(John Dowland: Lachrymae Antiqua / Flow My Tears http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkRrzAo9Wl4 )

*

Tiger Mountain -

am I an airport in

another green world

Neroli -

I am a stamen

catching echoes

thursday afternoon -
driving in Dali's car
for the equatorial stars

(Brian Eno)

*

nothing out of place -

I hold up a mirror

for the sun

(Haydn: Die Sonnen-quartette op. 20)

*

head over heels -
I draw angels
from a milk calf skin

(Cocteau Twins)

*

lost river -

I catch a sound

and it changes

unmapped

this coiling river stream -

now: a starfall

(Tangerine Dream: Rubycon)

*

the right side of the moon
a Bach Cantata
embedded in silver foil

*

the moon in a tux -

I'm way past

speaking

(Tuxedomoon: In a Manner of Speaking)

*

rivers of blood
a future cathedral built
with five voices

Basho & Zappa - haiku

Zoot!
damn frog
won't jump or sing!

:::


smoking with Basho
Zappa notices the lack
of wah-wah pedals

:::


not quite into
tribal etiquette – Basho headbangs
to a Zappa concert

:::


12-note jam -
Basho and Zappa wait
for the rats to cool

:::


absentminded
Basho and Zappa hauls herbs
into a saxophone

:::


Kyoto
Basho and Zappa can't use
Mastercards

haiku - penguins

forming a flesh-wall
penguins smile before
a G8 summit meeting

:::

April fools day -
penguins line up
War Council photo shoot

:::

signing papers
before Armageddon
smoking penguins

:::

sleeping
in softdrink vending machines
guerilla penguins

:::

Creation is accomplished
in three shifts
hardworking penguins

:::

paranoia follows -
the mass of copulating
penguins

:::

pulling the strings
of big politics
incognito penguins

:::

taking their revenge
on jelly-bears - penguins
raiding a candy store

:::

haiku - penguins

a walking
ground zero
flock of penguins

haiku

April 2.
still not sure
what to trust
