Haiku

as the sky turns black
the night crickets churp louder
and she doesn't call

(lack of) Love #1:
Desiree'

So the heat made shadows
dancing across the pavement
imitating your Persian hair
twirling
&
curling
in my mind
I still ignore the thick summer thighs
of curvy girls

Pink and white flower petals stuck to the gritty streets of White Oak. I hunched along thinking about how untastefully the petals... I noticed a white butterfly gliding around a tiny flower petal as it spun to the ground; fool thought that it had found a lover. I remember tingling with solace knowing that nature had designed a creature more pathetic than myself. I walked up to the fallen petal; before I realized what had happened the petal sprung up into the air and the two of them just flew off together.

As she ponders life
the ocean breeze meets her face...
so does my Frisbee.

*Based on a true story. Probably the funniest haiku I've ever written (or more precisely co-written). I was playing frisbee with my friend Dor on the beach and we hit quite a few people that day. I dont know why, but I think its more funny when Frisbee is capitalized.

Gathering Lonely Nights

I caressed the back of a lonely night because I would never see it again.

Haiku*

briefly our eyes meet
she is just too beautiful
blue linoleum

*for a long time I considered this to be the best haiku I've ever written.

summer afternoon
may I ask where you're going
