Saucy seafood bake
with rice and garden greens. Sounds
good — but it's cat food.

Snow is falling. Would
you like Kenyan coffee, Earl
Grey, or darjeeling?

Corn flake crunch. Autumn
leaf rustle. Bear coming? No.
Only chipmunk chase.

Dishes in the sink,
bed unmade, floor unvacuumed.
Day off laziness.

Haiku Project

My informal writers' group has become more of a restaurant review group. At our weekend meeting we decided we should at least make some attempt to put pen to paper and finger to keyboard and resolved each to write at least 17 syllables every day until our next meeting, which is January 11. Other formal rules of haiku need not apply. Just 17 syllables, every day.

Wade into shallow
pool of digital dating.
Plenty of fish? Not.

Cakes of white frosting
Melt, revealing glass and steel
In the parking lot

Proud of my home county

in John Murtha's redneck, racist district.
