Ten Haiku Poems
Watching the grass grow
Classical music vibe – don´t know
when to applaud.
Early bats had to
factor in the shuttlecock
record smashed that night
Studio packed tonight
Maybe Tai Chi will turn us
into graceful sardines
The monster under
my bed, I really tried to
imagine it cute
Traditional gore
on Halloween, the pumpkin
put up a good fight
Catch me, if you can
son, this is a different game
Four-hands piano
Younger child startled
by double hugs allowance
The nest´s half-empty
Reluctance to dance
no longer bothered, I greet
my dad´s DNA
Useless garden gnome?
Well, he´s a great listener,
said the hedge fondly.
They're always trying
to release me. Folks, can't a
kraken read in peace?
