Eight Senryu Poems
'Shot by Wyatt Earp,' was how he explained
the hole in his neck
Wipers on high...
the 5th time through
'Wind the Bobbin Up'
Same-Day Delivery
Fritz Lang's
at the front door
He's going on about Pangaea,
with his trousers down around his ankles
Shirt off, Hemingway killing something
(not pictured)
He keeps turning left because of something he read
No one home to delete the repeated word
It had to do with time-dilation:
wearing a long white beard, listening to Mantovani
and mowing the lawn on the diagonal
Patrick Sweeney is a short form poet and a devotee of the public library.
