Backlogged Haiku

0116072012
Hot wind, summer tongue
Laps at the base of my neck
Western world roves east.

0104072012
Slender dragonfly
Green body at rest, black wings
Yet blue in motion.

0204072012
What does heat feel like?
How can we explain such things
Without sharing them?

0304072012
Independence Day
People free, eagles aloft
War of species on.

0105072012
Haiku for morning
Stuck in my stiff jaw bruise-like
Syllables and cant.

0205072012
Write write write write write
Words do not pour; they must pus
Wounds from life and love.

0108062012
Wooden spoon, pitcher
Twist open orange cylinder
Make juice with Mother.

0208062012
Orange juice concentrate
Run warm water over can
To thaw frozen lump.

0308062012
Making juice with Mom
Just add three cans of water
Mix with wooden spoon.

0408062012
Thump, lump concentrate
With wooden spoon as it melts
In orange juice pitcher.

0104062012
Bacteria bones
Ballast Mexican bodies
Science News reports.

0204062012
Antidepressants
Make cannibals of yeast cells
Science News reports.

03040602012
Irish immigrants
Flooded America's shores
Bedraggled masses.

0404062012
Describe what you smell,
The writing book prompts writers:
Exhale life's perfume.

0504062012
Females ignore me.
As a person, who am I?
They demand product.

0604062012
His dragon tattoo
Reads at first like a bruised hand.
Stories don't need ink.

0106062012
Ray Bradbury dies
As Venus transits the sun--
Shadow play and light.

02060602012
Ray Bradbury dies
As Mars One proudly debuts--
The future is now.

0306062012
Ray Bradbury dies
I learn on my vision screen--
Alone, together.

04060602012
Ray Bradbury dies
Hereafter the air I breathe--
Squirrel scampers o'er bark.

0506062012
Typewriter clamor
Pages spooled warm of ink soul--
Thorough impressions.

0606062012
Ray Bradbury lives
Man is his words as birds song--
Something forever.

01052012
Sudden leaf cover
Surrounds me and honey bee--
May's canopy dropped.

02052012
Sitting on the ground,
I am but the insects' guest--
Fragile on both ends.

03052012
Little bee escapes
Absent spider's silky snare,
Somersaults through air.

0130042012
When your intestines
Fail you as a little girl
How must the world seem?

0127042012
Three deer unafraid
Splash through mud and forage greens
In Warnimont Park.

0129032012
Beachcomber hauls tires.
Blackbird bends Phragmites' bow.
Fog un-enshrouds shore.

0120032012
Heaps and mounds of steel
Mined, melted, fused, cut into
Single bent staple.

0118032012
Heat knows no season.
March? June? Boltzmann is constant.
Air warms air warms air.

0218032012
It's a tough question
"What is your novel about?"
One learns by asking.

0318032012
Skewered vegetables
Await searing hot metal--
Ritual of fire, food.

0104032012
Neon tennis ball
Iced amid stones in lake's wake
Slobbered for no more.

0204032012
Mislaid dollar bill
Washed up but never washed out
Belies water's cost.

0304032012
Reek of potatoes--
Rotting fish smell pussing forth--
Kitchen source unknown.

0404032012
Memory of Zayre's
Round red star meant aisles of toys--
The past: buried dream.
