    Haiku:"I wish you would die"...Words of grim finality...Echo in my mind...

    Haiku:"You're a stupid fool"...I sure wish she'd couch it in...Less judgmental terms...

    Haiku:Let me help you up...Solemn tones fail to disguise...Burst of impish glee...

    Haiku:Please stay on the line...Maddeningly repeating...Did I have to call?...

    Haiku:Thank you for your gift...That's very gracious of you...Lubricants of life...

    Haiku:A lifted eyebrow...Rich yet silent soul language...Talk between old friends...

    Haiku:A drivers nightmareA zigzaggery of streets

    Ziggurats of hills

    Haiku:A dry, mournful wind...Scuffles the leaves like roaches...

    In quiet garden...

    Haiku:A natural factMoon's gravity pulls the tides

    And he pulls the girlsHaiku:A meth addict seemsTo boil in his own juicesCooking deep inside

    Haiku:A moment in timeCan love reach across the years?...Or was it a dream?...

    Haiku:A simple conceptOne for you and nine for mePoliticians fear

    Haiku:A perfect marriage...A snow scene sealed in Lucite...Snow job, rest of time...

    Haiku:A poster boy forPhysical degradationOf the whole male race

    Haiku:A two-eyed insectHis wraparound mirror shadesHiding gray-green thoughts

    Haiku:A sludge of seconds

    Slowly filled up a minuteWaiting to be seen

    Haiku:A strata of clouds

    Lining the dark horizonSuddenly catch fire

    Haiku:About the 'Big Bang'...

    Who supplied materials...At the dawn of time...

    Haiku:A warrior, I...Once upon an ancient age...Still so far away...

    Haiku:A whiff of sulfur...When you open up the book...Good cause to skip it...

    Haiku:Across the meadow...Shimmering silver showers...Announce summer's end...

    Haiku:Abyssal blacknessDeeper than the oceans darkMoonless night by bay

    Haiku:Accelerator!A shriek of tortured rubberEager for highway

    Haiku:Age-induced wisdom...Stop waiting for Prince Charming...Nice would be enough...
