occasion haiku
it rains
If it didn't rain
sun would see

Anthropologist Talk Haiku
what - in me
it's not a myth
imitate

Monday Night Haiku
cold hits the face
- in the heart
a bone

New Year's Eve Haiku
End of the year -
what happened stays
past.

haiku than I received without asking
Present:
what i got
opportunities,
cover.

haiku for an Ash Wednesday, all of it from CDA
love the lost
against the meaningless
those will stay.

Haiku in the style of Heraclitus
You can't bathe in the same river twice
In the same love you don't love twice
In the same fear: Parmenides.

Haiku that appears at dawn
Sleep, sleep and juice
I reappear, dream and look
I see that I sleep, I wake up.

haiku from double talk
How would the case
if the ending
came by chance?

Untitled
Leaf spreads out into the void.
It doesn't fall yet.
Fall going.
