Haiku Dreams

Just for fun, here are a few silly haikus that popped into my head while at work:

1. That Empty Feeling
The attendant waits
Garbage gatherer crackles
Empty bin once more

2. Ode to Bamboo
Bamboo shoots from stones --
slick slimy interspersed roots
create thick green leaves

3. Ochre Circles
Water dripping there,
making ochre circles here
on old fabric walls

4. Nothing is Useless
Leopard-printed cup
taking up useful desk space --
Wallet needs a home.

5. Party Cups
A leather coaster,
dark brown with wet sweat rings.
Cup has too much ice.

6. Superhero
Honest mystery --
Oppressed voices call to me
I can’t free them all

7. Electric Horror
Electrostatic
dreams that make hairs stand on end --
only you’re awake

8. Buddha Baby
Chubby Buddha sits,
wakeful watching wisdom full
Empty with promise

9. Stitch and Bitch
Spiders weaving webs
Knitting a tall tale of woe
Spinning a great yarn

10. Sure on this Shining Night
Barber wander weeps
while I sit surely sighing,
weeping in wonder
