Watching cars go by
Bikes pulling trailers behind
Out on the corner
—————————————–
Engine rumbles loud
Waiting for the light to change
Its green- you may go
—————————————–
Open the door wide
you step through into sunlight
close it behind you
—————————————–
The wind is blowing
And it messes up my hair
Push it from my face
—————————————–
Words of my father
“Son, I don’t have it right now”
Thanks alot father
—————————————–
I am hungry now
But still have tasks to complete
Before I may eat
—————————————–
Please don’t stare at me
Judgements are clear in your eyes
And burn like hot coals.
—————————————–
Watchdog on a leash
Guarding the lengths of your chain
Give me safe passage
—————————————–
Everyone stares
As I re-tune my guitar
And start the next song.
—————————————–
This mic is too loud-
It feeds back each time I talk
Busting my eardrums.

Haiku’s for 8/27/07
Good morning everyone!! I have been getting quite a response from my recent Haiku binge, so I shall indulge some more. Thanks to everyone who has read them. I hope that it inspires you to write also.
Who can judge me now?
I have conquered desire
And rule this caged flesh.
—————————————–
Where is my lighter?
This ganja won’t smoke itself.
Don’t make me rub sticks.
—————————————–
Where is The Maker?
I have some questions to ask
And it’s growing late.
—————————————–
Always burning Nag
Since I was merely a boy.
Is it good for me?
—————————————–
I’ve spent my money!
I should have been more frugal.
Now I eat nothing.
—————————————–
So much abundance
I’m drowning in your giving
Gluttonous and full
—————————————–
Can we share this cab?
Our direction is the same.
And my feet are sore.
—————————————–
This herb smells so good
And looks as if dipped in light
Can we smoke some now?
—————————————–
You know the answer
But do you know the question?
Of course! You asked it.

Hit em where it counts,
making the most of little.
And assume the throne.
—————————————–
Herb, I love to smoke
Each breath thick with your essence
Exhale and Repeat
—————————————–
When its all over
you wait for me to finish.
Together we leave.
—————————————–
What did he call for?
Bearing good news or bad news?
Tell me, which is which?
—————————————–
God of Abundance
Please Bless Me with Your Presence
With You, I am full.
—————————————–
Misunderstanding
can destroy something special
Please hear what I say.
—————————————–
I ask for your love
And you shower me with it.
Should I ask for cash?
—————————————–
God of my People!
Break these chains that bind my mind!
And ease my burden
—————————————–
Cup full of water
Placed precariously close
to the tables edge
—————————————–
Money only buys
something that someone else sells.
Nothing thats given.
—————————————–
Only You know me
Piercing my vale with your eyes
You see my spirit

I am really taking this Haiku thing seriously. Here are 6 more- enjoy- LOS
Where are you people?
My Armies and my Legions
have abandoned me…
—————————————–
Turtle on the rock,
You are basking in sunshine
envy of the world.
—————————————–
Water soothes my throat
As old as the planet Earth
So I drink deeply.
—————————————–
Children like the stars
Descendants as the beachsand
Ruler of the World
—————————————–
Just to kill some time
Until true inspiration
I’ll write a haiku
—————————————–
Deep smoke fills my lungs
Taking me that much higher.
Floating through the air.
—————————————–

My sister emailed me this morning asking me to explain Iamb and Trochee. Since I am hardly a poetry expert I have decided to Quote Wikipidia.
An iamb or iambus is a metrical foot used in various types of poetry. Originally the term referred to one of the feet of the quantitative meter of classical Greek prosody: a short syllable followed by a long syllable (as in i-amb). This terminology was adopted in the description of accentual-syllabic verse in English, where it refers to a foot comprising an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable . such as at-tach
A trochee or choree, choreus, is a metrical foot used in formal poetry. It consists of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one. such as won-der
The traditional haiku consisted of a pattern of approximately 5, 7, 5 on. The Japanese word on, meaning “sound”, corresponds to a mora, a phonetic unit similar but not identical to the syllable of a language such as English.
The lune is an American form of poetry similar to the haiku. One way of writing a lune is to count the syllables: thirteen syllables are arranged in 5/3/5 format, five syllables in the first line, three syllables in the second, and five in the third. A second variation of the lune is to count the words: three words in the first line; five words in the second line; three words in the third line.

I hope this helps out. I am currently attempting to improve my poetic skills so I am learning more about “Poetics”
- you will find plenty of Lune’s and Haiku’s forthcoming.

I am going a little Haiku crazy today working on “Daily Haiku”
here are 9 new ones—enjoy
Humans, what are we?
Hurling through space like madmen
toward points unknown.
————————————
My life in this world
Is like a waking dreamtime.
Choosing, I create
————————————-
I’ve always known hate
Tempered with its one equal.
I’ve always known love.
————————————–
Never throughout life
Have I loved as I love you.
Your Breath is a song!
—————————————-
Do I dare disturb
That Peaceful look of slumber?
Or let you just sleep?
—————————————–
Where is the One Source?
Hidden within or without?
Seek and you shall find.
—————————————–
Working and Playing
Have finally become One
Would you care to join?
—————————————–
I am my Mom’s son
Though surely my fathers too
Sum greater than parts.
—————————————–
The only constant
Is that all things change and grow
Hold fast to that thought
