mmhmm, we all live
in our own little realms of
existence, bubbles

who said no man is
an island. thomas meron
I think, he died from

an electric fan
during a shower and this
way to go, not cool

tolkien wrote in his
fantasy writing the world
of his creation

was sung into be
a discordant voice, a
dark lord sang his own

in his myth this voice
brought evil into that world
but the song was sung

the song would be sung
again, when the time came to
make it all anew

sometimes meaningful
often whistled out of tune
haiku is a song

looking for reasons
predicting inspiration
pointless cogitation

sometimes you get it
other times it's a conundrum
it doesn't matter

sounds as if zounds a
golem has walked from rabbis
halls, seeking revenge

for working sabbath
a man of clay, only shut down
when God becomes Death

what was the old gen

to fade away, to step

back from the limelight
and to settle down, the

you have families
maybe. people love, die, breathe
believe, disbelieve

transcendence was a
lost art perhaps to those who
forget to transcend

still though life goes on
I repeat over the years we don't
know one another for

real, just what we read
here, of each other, I would either
hate or like you as

I deem fit over
time and likewise, or not care
likewise. wish I could

passion is better
than delayed suicide, because
so much powdered words

are just dead dust with
no water, no life, just dust mites
posing as writers

because I can't be the person
who is too cool for school
Haiku # 48924, July 17, 2012 1:20 pm ET

and I care too much
because I am not wired
to be a "aesthete"

that is whatever
passes here for "great haiku"
is a relic of

Gen X past

it is not that bad
it is a point of view that
one feels of the self

given my real life
sucks I might give in and give up
never having known

a permanent hope
or a place of my own or

where have all the spots
to sit in gone, to write and
lead thoughts on paper

obsolete to think
in such a way, private thoughts
are now a dead thing

from a rope in a room dead

then again why not
even bother, let those damned
towers of babel

collapse and stand back

if you adopt a
faith in the process you might
feel less apt to be

self worshiping types

when chickens rule their
roost, the best thing to do is
to go around them

this is how new schools

Ash thanks for playing
Certainly words hard to hear
"Grandma has a cock"


Ghost of Hollywood
Thank you for your answer too
"I jerk off wildly"


Maybe the next time
William N., Lush and Crimson
Will play along too


Along the same lines
Mine similiar yet different
"Your penis is small"


"Can we remain friends?"
The worst words a man can hear?
"Your penis is small"
