Haiku a Day

Birth bumps on a branch
Broadcast the expectant spring
Future berries bud

Gone beyond the cusp
Plunged deep into disaster 
Year one and counting 

so no, not a war
it's a full metal pageant
claims Comrade Bone Spurs

No Kings with their bling
That swap serfs for others turf
Not things to conserve

does a snarky phrase
made via email or post
make it an equip?

better to play tag
with a languid bear than a
frisky clueless one

flowing smouldering 
creek of burnt history as
internalized space 

current tech mana
data as revelation
pull back the curtain

Self medication
Reading was my gateway drug
Now I just listen

Haiku retrospect
In nonlinear format
Anxiety's chain

equanimity 
like global equinox needs
magnanimous spread

no project deadlines
nor cawing client anchor
pure creative bliss

Work the undo list
Some undoings bring me joy
Some can't be undone

Took decades to make
Will reverberate longer
A stained tripping point

Easy to accuse
But it's much tougher to prove
Know when to recuse

Reinforced mistrust
Is now a hardened target
For stealth media 

Never have the few
Worked so hard to earn distrust 
From the so many

Subtle energies 
Kicking words. Taking haiku
Sharpens my prana

Pop bottles became
No Deposit No Return
Lost my income source 

internet as an
index of all the old wives
with the tales they told

a buried sardine
fertilized the full bloom of
a seasons crocus 

Spew indecency 
Every syllable vile 
From slobbering maws

I must abide this
Never will I respect this
So sublimate this

Gave up giving up
things for lent for lent this lent.
My involution

Wild bird chirped above
Bee buzzed around the garden 
Eve bit the apple

the balustrade hop
was the way of the frog while
sparrow soared the rail
