Fog like grey cotton
Crack of dawn, choking streetlights
Anti-mystery
haiku
Haiku for Amusement over Wisdom
In the yard I hear
A sad trilling sound; a cat
Slowly kills a bird
Haiku for Stephen Hawking
Look
to
the
sky
for
A
brief
history
of
time
Supermassive, black
Haiku for Billy Graham
Convictions can damn
Hate breeds hate breeds hate breeds hate
From fire, green growth
Haiku for Dishwalla
Do you really want
to know all my thoughts on God?
Could be here all night…
Haiku for Differences Within the Animal Kingdom
Sometimes cats forget
That weak and weary humans
Can’t see in the dark
Haiku for Modern Plumbing
The toilet won’t stop
Cold water, hard porcelain
How can we sleep through?
Haiku for Amazon Prime
There’s an unnamed beast
waiting at your front doorstep;
cardboard-caged surprise.
Haiku for Autumnal Grief
We pumpkin carvers
Know that behind every face
Flickers flaming light
Haiku for the Sparrow
God is a complex
personality whose rules
are for us, not God.
