write haiku on fridays

my heart is my sail
family and friends the wind
bring me home to me

away from this job
gliding, sliding, jumping – fast
snowboard can fix me

[14:57] sitio: inky, haiku please
[14:57] inky: sitio, ok, here’s your haiku:
[14:57] inky: simple melody
[14:57] inky: somebody call a doctor
[14:57] inky: camels cannot dance

In the absence of writing my own for weeks and weeks, I’ll share one that my IRC bot wrote that I like:

[19:53] sitio: inky, haiku please
[19:53] inky: sitio, ok, here’s your haiku:
[19:53] inky: passed out on the couch
[19:53] inky: we shape clay into a pot
[19:53] inky: evanescent shapes

and still my heart leaps
a rush of warm, joyous love
when you look my way

softly in our thoughts
his power, his charm, his faults
away, two years past

I won’t steal your turds
without them, you won’t mature
and grow your flowers

simply observe them
when surrounded by asses
don’t be tricked and ride

here in a new home
firsts and lasts have great power
to make me mindful

if our pets could talk
I think we’d be pretty shocked
at the shit they’d say
