Selected haiku

19 May – Taco Tuesday

missing Taco Bell,
in-person Taco Tuesday.

Another Star Trek haiku!

Kirk, your quadrotrit-
-icale is safe with these
pompoms (not Tribbles!)

Inspired by my brother…

bought bougie plant milk,
reframed my tasty mistake:
it’s job creation!

is it upcycling
if you use someone else’s
old linens? (thanks, Mom!)

view from the front door:
sunset like a big rainbow,
happy little trees

put all your weight on
one leg. not for Twister, it’s
contrapposto pose!

…oft misremembered
as “chiasmus pose,” at least
inside of my head

How is the wind like
Facebook? They share a motto:
“Move fast and break things.”

eutrophication:
runoff leads to algal bloom.
greener grass: worth it?

A haiku from my brother…

plant milks from Whole Foods:
supercapitalism
at its finest. yum.

hark! assorted plants
growing next to a footpath
likely not poison?

quieter fauna: flies!
not as cute as the birds that
they will someday feed

Content warning: this page contains a picture of a decapitated wasp.

wet cherry blossom
hanging on after others
fell off and rotted

not murder hornet,
still quite menacing, until
dad severed its head

a happier time
for the vanquished invader;
much less so for me
