My heart is beating
Throbbing wordless excitement
tingles my fingers
Haiku!!! Hail, Haiku
O syllables divine, black
on grey screen, come forth
My fingers press keys
caterpillar letters crawl
on monitor face
Haiku!!! O, Haiku
hard to think and count at once
a poet’s lament
the clock shows tenten
I yawn. Composing haiku
causes sleepiness
I thought it creepy
When grandma shaved my back
but it looks real nice.

On poems
Some think that it’s just
Mangling speak.
But it’ more like music.
Calms the breath,
Slows the
heart.
It’s more like music.
And a lot like
Life.
sometimes.
Poetry is nice
But we just do haiku here
free verse is quite dead. 
But in the New Year,
I’m not surprised that haiku
has a renaissance.
“Just follow my nose”,
said Toucan Sam so I went
but then he robbed me.
Xbox 360
I want to play Orange Box
but you won’t let me
I’m starting a band
The 2008 Monkees!
I’ll be Peter Tork.
Then I’ll be Nesmith
Because his mom invented
The liquid paper
Really though I should be
Mickey Dolenz because we
Share the same birthday.

Monday is over
Tomorrow will be Tuesday
Then Wednesday arrives
Hump day they call it
I call it Wednesday, cuz humps
belong to camels
And Wednesday has no
legs, a camel has four legs
some have those two humps
but they all have legs
And Wednesday is only the
midday of seven
legless as a drunk
or an egg. Humps on camels
belong. Not on days.
You be them, that’s fine
Everybody knows Davey
got all the hot chicks!

Words words words words words
Syllables syllables words

Oh Metallica
Please fire Lars Ulrich so
You have one more shot.
O absurdity,
thy name is Doper haiku!
Kalamazoo Zoo.
Hey ants! Look up here!
I am the lord thy God, Ryan.
My feet are vengeful.
Goddamn narcissus
are calling the mothership.
Stand up straight, fuckers!
