FARfetched's Haiku Corner

Skyline change

2009-06-23T21:59:00.001-04:00

Along the highway,
A needle pierces the sky:
Antenna tower.

Mind-numbing

2009-04-03T23:48:00.001-04:00

Looking for coffee
After a presentation
To reboot my brain.

Of Male Vanity

2009-04-01T21:51:00.000-04:00

45 degrees:
Tattooed guy in a tank top
Shows off his physique?

Wasted effort

2009-04-01T16:23:00.000-04:00

So many haters
Who don't understand Twitter
So they must bash it.

Evening colors

2009-03-05T10:38:00.001-05:00

Thin clouds in the west.
Sunset smears them with color:
God’s own finger paint.

Frosty morning

2009-01-12T22:10:00.001-05:00

Heavy frost descends.
Haloes limn sunlit road signs;
Meadows painted white.

Cornfield in winter

2008-12-20T13:14:00.001-05:00

A thin mist, sunlit
Blurs the sharp corn stalk edges.
Soft focus on death.

Political Epiphany

2008-10-30T22:35:00.002-04:00

Even God Himself
Must struggle with False Witness
And Willful Ignorance.

Picnic

2008-10-18T20:48:00.001-04:00

In a pecan’s shade,
A lazy groundhog reaches
For more fallen nuts.

That Skinks

2008-10-05T14:58:00.002-04:00

A flash of movement:
Blue-tailed skink on the concrete,
Pauses — slips away.

Too soon! Too soon!

2008-08-12T22:00:00.001-04:00

Yawning and blinking,
Students stand along the road
Waiting for the bus.

Working senryu

2008-06-13T15:18:00.001-04:00

Back-to-back meetings:
9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Yes, Fridays can suck.

Chilly moldy senryu

2008-05-28T17:41:00.002-04:00

Cleaning out the fridge:
The theme song to "Weird Science"
Running through my head.

Grimy senryu

2008-05-07T11:12:00.002-04:00

I would wash the bike —
But Mrs. Fetched would insist
I wash her car, too.

Night-night

2008-04-26T17:49:00.002-04:00

Softness on softness:
Cherry blossoms fall to sleep
On a bed of moss.

On a sidewalk

2008-04-13T22:45:00.001-04:00

Warm southerly breeze.
A tree caresses my hair,
As I walk beneath.

Oooookayyyy

2008-02-16T19:30:00.000-05:00

A Chinese seamstress
Said to my Daughter Dearest:
"Your boobs are heavy."

Winter on Planet Georgia

2008-01-16T23:26:00.000-05:00

Heavy, wet white flakes,
Turning green pine limbs to white.
Snow swirls on the road.

Bony

2008-01-04T21:54:00.001-05:00

Tall woman jogging.
Are her breasts really smaller
Than her knobby knees???

But It's Year-Round

2008-01-04T00:06:00.000-05:00

Her quick refusal
Summons the deep winter chill
Into our bedroom.

Dead Chicken Senryu (w/video)

2007-12-26T18:47:00.000-05:00

Not for weak stomachs. Text of the senryu is below if you don't want to see the video.

At the chicken house:
Dung and decay fill the air.
How appetizing!

More Christmas senryu

2007-12-25T09:44:00.000-05:00

When I was younger,
I would be the first one up
On Christmas morning.

Another either/or

2007-12-19T08:34:00.000-05:00

Pattering on leaves:
Raindrops falling from the roof?
Or a swarm of mice?

Christmas senryu

2007-12-17T22:50:00.000-05:00

Long string of red lights:
A Christmas decoration?
or traffic at night?

Tra-la

2007-12-17T22:49:00.000-05:00

The choir director
Pauses, then gives the downbeat.
The music begins.
