why the stairs left me breathless

he smiles and carries
all the bags upstairs with grace
simple act floods heart

yo, where is everybody

it's spring, trees blossom
new leaves emerge, nobody
writes - much too busy!

Saturday, Another View

rainy rainy day
our creek runneth over but
our basement is dry

Guest Haiku: Heather B. of Top Shelf

Original post
on Top Shelf Feb 29th
Sabres Haiku - yay!

============================

The Sabres are dumb
Montreal’s powerplay, great
Stop taking stupid penalties you stupid morons

(My rhythm is off a little on that last line. I had to warm-up, okay?)

I hate Kotalik
He really pisses me off
Please trade him right now

Max is really fast
That’s all he’s really good for
Please trade him right now

Harry Neale is old
I think he’s going senile
Please trade him right now

Henrik Tallinder
At least he’s still real pretty
Unlike tonight’s game

Winning is big fun
But we’re better at losing
God hates Buffalo

Harry Neale is old
He thinks we should score goals
No shit, you old man

One more goal for Habs
Crunchy’s five hole was gaping
This game really blows

This game really blows
Haikus are a lot more fun
Like them more than hockey

Carey Price in goal
Looks really good there tonight
Sabres won't shoot the puck

This is not much fun
When does football season start
Bills can’t be much worse

Second goal for us
Price looked like a rookie there
Too little, too late

Sabres playing hard
Games are sixty minutes long
They just don’t get it

Habs are really good
I think they’ll win the conference
I hate them for it

Two-on-one again
Henrik breaks up the passing
Ryan muffs rebound

Game is really bad
Mark turned off television
Can't really blame him

Buffalo Sabres
are never winning again.
Wish I could quit them

From Ross to his Family on Valentine's Day

Roses are all red
I like Roses but you more
more than anything

Lindsay

a room full of toys
the one she chose to play with?
her bellybutton

one more night

Diagnosis grim.
pain too much for cat and me.
Tomorrow, she rests.




Little girl cat purrs
raggedly, facing away
already leaving

I stroke her soft ears
she twitches her tail, annoyed.
not time for tears yet!

Santa Writes Haiku

i'm itchy

oh my gosh i itch.
and itch and itch my dry skin!!!
winter must be here...

parking lot nature film

crouching by windshield
hawk tears raw flesh ignoring
car's rightful owner.

High Security Building

STOP. Show ID. Smile.
Now you are on record here;
you may go upstairs

lunch presentation
stranger walks in; does not eat
a stranger walks in?

how did she get here?
nobody knows who she is
sits biting her nails

shy to confront her
she might be from M-E-P
hoping for free lunch

progress

leg still unsteady
physical therapy helps
drove my car today!

Blasting Walnuts

black walnuts falling
squirrels take aim at car windshield
direct hit cracks glass

falling black walnuts
scare buyers off; garage sale
makes only six bucks

good friends come over
commiserate with our plight
help eat the walnuts

right now

iphone in my hand

Glorious Silence

I slid out of bed
ages ago, drove through the
dark muck to my work

Dark offices greet
I sit at my quiet desk
No boss yet, haiku!

Soon the drones file
in like disgruntled ants at
some crappy picnic

Apology

Ack! I'm so sorry.
Work, toddler, baby on way
silenced my haiku

None a good excuse
though true I must do better
my promise to you

where did you all go?

where did you all go?
no one blogs here anymore.
come back and blog please! :)

new obssession

the cat doesn't know
we're laughing out loud. But pics
don't need to hear us.

tired and happy heap of sleep

hotel room: three
boys, one girl all love music
booze and cigarettes

Yippee! Tomorrow
Is No Nutrition Thursday!
Feast away, my friends!
