Haiku for You

The white water rushes
through the throng of rocks
only to settle in the pool below.
From a mile away
those pink and fuchsia blouses
on a cloudy day.
Watching the sun rise
over Dog Hill I feel dizzy
by the turning earth.
Blues before sunrise
Here comes the sun
Alone again, naturally
Star Chamber
Sun Ra
Temple Of the Golden Pavilion
House of the Rising Sun
The thick purple veins
blossom forth from the orchid
Into the daylight.
A fly flew into my martini
It died instantaneously
It was a happy death.
Blue ribbons fluttering
Birds chirping in the trees
A girl walks briskly by.
Sitting in the street
in front of the coffeehouse
My arms turn to good flesh.
The Bamboo planted
on the bank of the river
calms my restless soul.
621 West Main Street, Louisville, Kentucky
Behind the facade of the false front is the emptiness of the blue sky…
A lightening flash
on a darkened dash
a drop of dew on a blade of grass.
