You Are So Human (a 5-11-5 haiku)
You are so human.
You’ve always lived on a gas called oxygen,
and you always will.

Deer Dream (a 11-13-11 haiku)
I had breakfast set in a splendid valley.
It was wet and more or less all over everything.
I ate it like I was a deer, then was shot.

This Can Also Be the Soul (a 5-12-7 haiku)
climate change skeptics
disgusting and ridiculous in a dance club
growing very small glaciers

Moby Dick Haiku
Still on Moby Dick?
They say it’s no mere whale tale,
but I’m not that sure.
I do remember
if you meet the narrator
you call him Ishmael.

I had logs (7-10-7 haiku)
I had logs in a good spot,
only to decide to have a bonfire,
and the room went up in smoke.

[you can always see the mountain]
you can always see
the mountain when it’s cloudy
close your eyes and see
we have etched it there
inside both of your eyelids
we thought you’d like it
two-stanza bizarro haiku
