TUDES OF LIFE

LIFE IS FULL OF
VICISSITUDES
WITH
ATTITUDES.

LIFE IS FULL OF
PLATITUDES
WITH
LATITUDES.

LIFE IS FULL OF
NASTY DUDES
WITH
ANGRY MOODS.

LIFE IS FULL OF
FAMILY FEUDS
WITH
FROZEN FOODS.

SUMMER HAIKU

Summer's Sumptuous Soul
On a Crackling Campfire
Sizzling Mountain Trout

Bad Weather

Because
The little Rolling Thunder
Pulled his mad brain Asunder
A sleeping & dreaming Bear
Was awakened in his Lair---
The sturgeon in the Lake
Was suddenly Awake!
Because
The little Rolling Thunder
Pulled his mad brain Asunder
The quaking Crocodile
Swam mile after Mile---
The grinning Chimpanzee
Jumped upward like a Flea!
Because
The little Rolling Thunder
Pulled his mad brain Asunder
A bathing Elephant
Made a very loud Grunt---
The grazing Gazelle
Ran away like Hell!
Because
The little Rolling Thunder
Pulled his mad brain Asunder
The flying Bumble Bee
Fell down upon his Knee---
The jumping Kangaroo
Began to Moo & Moo!

SPRING HAIKU

Falling Waterfalls
From Mountains of Melting Snow
Genesis of Spring

PENELOPE DREW

she called me lurch
outside of church
while we were listening to Claire de Lune.
in the sky there was a summer moon.
if love is not seen with the eyes
then our love was not a guise.

HAPPY ANIMALS

Happy is the Toad
Not Squashed on the Road.
Happy is the white Rabbit
Not trapped in some Cabinet.
Happy is a desert Camel
Not covered with Enamel.
Happy is a wagging Dog
Not lost in some misty Fog.
Happy is a Giraffe's neck
Not caught in some Lariat.
Happy is a Blue Whale
Not drowned inside a pail.
Happy is a Siamese Cat
Not stuck inside a Derby Hat.
Happy is the Gila monster
Not perched on a Roller Coaster.
Felicitous is an Elephant
Not murdered by a safari hunt.
Happy is the Fly
Not caught in a Lie.

UNDERWATER HAIKU

WORLD WITH A WHITE FACE
SWIMMING IN A GREEN OCEAN
LOOKING FOR SOME GRACE

THE GREAT NEW YORK PEACE MARCH

THE RED LOBSTER
WAS A MOBSTER.

THE WIGGLY WORM
ATE A BROWN GERM.

THE WHITE COW IS NOW BLUE
BECAUSE HE ATE MY SHOE.

THE STUBBORN DONKEY
IS A WHITE HONKEY.

MOVING ROAD HAIKU

ARTERIES OF GOD
SPLASHING CHURNING TURBULENT
RIVERS OF EARTH
