Possessed By Haiku Writing Demons

fingers popping out

silent rhythm of madness

counting syllables

Fun Driving

it’s more fun driving

since I changed my car horn to

the sound of gunshots

Time Is On Our Side

time is on our side

sang the youthful Rolling Stones

wrinkled prunes on road

Mourning Dove

a mourning dove mourns

so early in the morning

where’s my bb gun?

Aesop’s Fable

autumn ant dragging

hind leg of a grasshopper

dancing days are done

Drinker Quits

thirsty mosquito

lands on ancient stone Buddha

the end of craving

Smoking My Crack Pipe

smoking my crack pipe

also known as a smartphone

where did my life go?

Merry Christmas

hungry polar bears

leaving nothing but antlers

and Rudolf’s red nose

Rock Me Baby

sleeping with my Muse

she keeps waking me up with

hot new ideas

Typical Carnivore

craving mammal flesh

he chewed his ribeye so fast

that he bit his tongue

surreal poetry
