Poem # 2: Three Senryu, One Haiku

shredding old bank statements
I still know
where the money went

++++

dog licks my feet
with fervor;
they're his drug of choice

++++

a loud whine
wakes everyone on the block;
sound of alternator dying

++++

last night's glass of wine
left by the open window;
pollen floats on top

  1. There are millions of stories in the naked city. This is one of them. It is basic philosophy that every haiku deserves a reaction. Kind of like a good vaccine. More in my series of Revenge Haiku:

    shredding old guitar licks
    we still wonder
    where the yellow went

    ++++

    frog slurps a fly
    with fervor;
    they're his bug of choice

    ++++

    my lower back cracks
    another alternative
    lifestyle bites the dust

    ++++

    errant baseball floats
    painfully in my beer mug:
    the broken window
