Greetings, Lee.
Below are the 9 haiku I posted in the open mike, plus one new one.
Crickets near corn field:
Is this grand recital for
The ears of the corn?
A praying mantis
Squashed dead against the doorjamb —
Preyed on by the door.
One tiny cricket
Stridulates in the bedroom.
My dog sleeps; I don’t.
A green grasshopper
Clings to the bedroom lampshade;
The window's open.
Dog days of summer;
Fruit flies fly around
In the refrigerator.
The dog is scratching;
A wee flea on his hind leg
Is getting seasick.
Sleep … Walk dog … Eat … Walk
dog … Sleep … Walk dog … Eat … Walk dog …
Sleepwalk … Eat dog … Oops!
What’s Fido feeling
Riding in the fast auto,
Autumn flying past?
In a shop window,
A dog sees his reflection—
Both of them growling.
Naked clothes hangers
Lined up like xylophone bars;
Sunbeams play their wood
