Here's this week's heap of haikus:

 

 

 

The world passes by.
I look out my window and
imagine stories.

Where-ever I go,
I feel I am at home, which
is embarassing.

A Flattering Friday Afternoon at the Haikulodeon

An over-dose of
an antidote, will become
a poison itself

A Frequently Freezing Friday Afternoon at the Haikulodeon

A knock at the door.
her face rings a bell  ... My past
has caught up with me.

triple haiku:

Consistency makes
unimaginative lives
seem less vacuous.


 

Consistent is not
a value, it's an action.
(Erratic is too.)

A Day Late Year-End Review at the Haikulodeon - pt. 1

2015 was an amazing year at the Haikulodeon.  I have been going through all the comments this past year and there are so many great haikus, I'm going to post this year-end review in two parts.  I've included some of my haiku comments in the mix because they fit into the thread and sparked other responses.   Thanks to all who responded last year, including Barefooted, Richard Day, Guy named Lulu, moat, Oxy Mora, Peracles Please, Trkingmomoe and Ramona.

Happy New Year. Dagbloggers!!

December morning,
I walk through an alleyway

Hidden in the creche;
a marble he'd stolen from
his little brother.

To avoid what is

Life is a question
Our quest for knowing is the
path on which we walk

A Pre-Approved Friday Afternoon at the Haikulodeon

tanka haiku:

"That's me with Santa"...
"Why are you on a horse and
not on a reindeer?"

Grandma paused and then whispered,
"Dear, no-one sits on Rudolph."

(My mom with Santa ... circa 1927)

My faded old jeans
easy and comfortable;
worn from the wearing.

One luxury of
being rich; you can ignore
all your own failings.

confused and bleeding, I can't

Thirty Woodstocks ...

I just don't think people can get their heads around how ridiculous it is that Donald Trump is saying he is going to deport 12 million people.   So ... let's put things in perspective, shall we?  I mean, the logistics of this 'grand event' should make everyone laugh this moron back to his gold lame penthouse in Trump Tower.

Deporting 12 million people is the equivalent of deporting every person at 30 Woodstocks.  That's right, THIRTY times the number of people that attended fucking WOODSTOCK! There were only 400,000 people at Woodstock.  This is 30 times that number!!
