e pluribus haiku 2014



e pluribus haiku 2014 is out. 875 haiku, better packaging, more complete. I'm really proud of it. click on the picture to order it through amazon or by kindle. my intention was to publish on July 4, but if you think about it, the season is already over by then. The season is now. so pass this along, and celebrate the diversity of this country, its 50 unique states (and the District of Columbia); and the expression, through poetry, of a traveler's view.

cool may in turley -
let the children stretch their legs
before the swelter
(5-12)

jackhammer's complaint -
that wall, that ramp, ir'n within -
dust for summer term
(5-12)

dairy queen's curb
bare feet, ice cream in the cracks
with whatever else
6-12)

getting dropped nickels
from beneath outdoor patio -
rainbow people's job
(6-12)

in the shawnee caves
nomads barter for hemp socks -
october drizzle
(6-12)

bucky's student, back
when this was synergy dome -
labryinth's weeds intrude
(6-12)

blistering dry heat -
sunset's grass crackling in pain,
trees beg for relief
(6-12)

mir'cle whip display -
walmart congratulates our
twenty twelve seniors
(6-12)

regatta cardboard,
fresh kind of competition -
brackish kind of wet
(6-12)

a judge's gavel -
guard questions an old-timer -
outside, spring rains
(2-12)
