Okra Haiku

fuzzy pods outside
Hibiscus Esculentus
slime and seeds inside

(my toes in the earth)
the sun on my neck
harvesting before mature,
green pods for gumbo

-early '97 and Aug '97
*return to top*

Commuting 1990

Powerlines-
stretched across the hiway
superimpose themselves on the sky
like some kind of gridwork for God
to scale his clouds by

artwork of white, blue, and shades of grey

later man adds a

swirling
streak
of
dingy
yellow

the strange beauty of a papermill
nestled in a once virgin forest

Red Tailed Hawk-
Red Tailed Hawk
circling on eddies of air
gazes hungrily
at the fat metal beast
that speeds along the blacktopped scar
cutting through the evergreen corridor

-both while communing on I-20, N. Central Louisiana, '90
*return to top*

 7th Grade Haiku

Rainbows -

Full of bright color
Adding pleasure to life
Filling up the sky

The Sun -
Glowing ball of fire
Gives life to the whole world wide
Yet sits all alone

-it was the 7th grade
*return to top*

I Want A Toy Robot For Christmas

slave mechanisms
doing the master's bidding
vacuum tubes humming

shiny tin plating
pincers and hot antennae
windup feet scurry

-as the toy ads began, Oct '97
*return to top*

Sons
Sons everyone of us
We all resent our fathers
So even as we love them
Strive to be just like them
We promise not to do the things they've done

Thanksgiving, 1991

Mediocre or mediaokra - you be the judge.
