lecture over
throat is sore
- office hours

warrior spirit
the Johnny Cash Strategy
cherry blossoms fall

spring freshet
an unbroken light bulb
floats in an eddy

spring break afternoon
Route 9 dim sum haiku group
poetry reading

March indifference
a weird inbetween season
neither warm nor cold

haiku
without ballast
floats on air

here's another by Basho:

Cold night: the wild duck,
sick, falls from the sky
and sleeps awhile.

It is often complained that American haiku tends to have to much going on -- and yet there is a lot going on in this haiku by Basho.

Don't imitate me;
it's as boring
as the two halves of a melon.

Matsuo Basho
translated by Robert Hass

all day
geese
flying north

the peace
of a Friday
afternoon

winter barn cat
asleep in the hay
mice unmolested
