one-line linked haiku 13    august 18-24 2002


geranium blooms

eighteen geranium blooms burst open my favorite shade of red
unidentified orange fibers on her broken body
great brand name for a pain medication Celebrex-using dancers
tired but a grinning kind of tired
Whoopi Goldberg entertains raising funds for the homeless
will we return land to native and slave descendants

i startle a grouse by the branch which startles deer on the hillside
compliments from an Alzheimer's patient
2 + 2 = 4 unless you count the duration of syllable or onji or mora
immobile after 111 minutes online at Renkujin
surrounded by goldenrods noon heat surrounded by goldenrods
feeder like a watering hole pigeons and chickadees
as three verdicts flow guilty a small piece of the world feels right
aspens lacy shadows flicker on the lawn
stuck inside with government run-around agencies on the phone
'War of Words' Scrabble contest in progress
in a dry spell compared to what went on and what came down
into cloudless blue the glitter of a plane

scrambling gardeners prune five feet off each bush top and sides
new pup digs my digs unplants my plants
stubborn hubby smoking a pipe again after thirty-seven years
'oldies but goodies' one of those decades gone missing
dreams of my childhood: wallpaper books and a 'strawberry room'
a sno-cone stand pays the way to college
no correct answer what a debate over 'a' 'the' or 'his'
an endless day a realtor and i talk acres and court
still in love his ex-wife is distressed to learn he has married
have you any private thoughts which need surveilled
'...you don't like the US? just don't go away mad..just go idiot!'
hurricane andrew reviewed while they await a better one

to be on the safe side nature rewashes the sun-drenched clothes
'Hello Sunshine' painting entry sent for exhibit
'creationism' anything to undermine the intelligence of a cell
TV audience applauds the ex-alcoholic
now that the fun is over the task of haiku written without meaning
big to little Matreshka dolls all with the same smile
