Haiku*

another sunset
sitting on a Winter leaf
little hummingbird


*This haiku stemmed from me watching a hummingbird sitting on leaf while the sun was setting. Most of my haiku stem from empirical observation. Upon later reflection it's interesting how the connotative mood of the haiku always seems to reflect that of my own.

Haiku- SKI TRIP!

The afternoon sun
softly through the car window
highlights her hair

First time in the snow
instinctively a snowball
thrown at Mazy's head

A six-hour drive
to get away from nagging
--then there was Ziba

My first time skiing
above the snow a flower
hey its a Jasmine

The sky instructor
"hey shutup and let me teach"
after nagging him

My first ski lesson
I watch the beautiful snow
drop like asain girls

That Elana girl
in seventeen syllables
no no no no no

Group organizer
vomits and sleeps in the tub
Mike Yadigari

"Hey man you're dripping"
--its offensive when you're drunk
angry expression

I ask Persian girls
to please turn down the music
before I vomit

Shirin doesn't ask
'what will you do with that!?'
I want to hug her

Haiku*

on a windy night
the fir tree agrees with him
on a windy night

*after hundreds of haiku, I think I've come up with my own unique style. Basically, L1 and L3 are identical however L3 has a subtle difference in connotation in light of L2. I've done it before in another haiku:

the little lizard
does push-ups on Spring concrete
the little lizard

Haiku

outside the party
midnight smoke rings wobble up
and outline the moon
