two angry crows
attack two hawks
springtime
#haiku #senryu
the nesting crows
drive the mated hawks away
patterns in the air
#haiku #senryu
insistent cat
scorns
the compromise
#haiku #senryu
insistent cat
accepts
the compromise
#haiku #senryu
finishing my taxes
even though
#haiku #senryu
my cold hands
smell like
rain
#haiku #senryu
the smell
of early spring
is petrichor
#haiku #senryu
the barista
gives me the heart sign
talks movies
#haiku #senryu
fall down fall down fall down
fall down fall down fall down
fall down until I don't
#haiku #senryu
the cat
asleep on the heat register
all day
#haiku #senryu
icy rain
but the house still warm
from yesterday
#haiku #senryu
this poem
is the sound
of screaming
#haiku #senryu
the barista
makes a heart sign
says "We'll get through this."
#haiku #senryu
after the forecast
opening the windows
while I can
#haiku #senryu
fall down fall down fall down
fall down fall down fall down
fall down never mind
#haiku #senryu
three runs through
the carwash
during robin season
#haiku #senryu
the brown cockade
of a robin's tail
on the pavement

surprisingly sleepy
the drone
of the small plane
#haiku #senryu
even these words
too many

In my case, pretty much only the same cat, over and over. And clouds.
listening to the blues
and antiphonal birdsong
#haiku #senryu
cold 5am sky fading up
the guy using my basement office
jumpstarts his scooter
#haiku #senryu
trees so full of birds
birds so full of
spring
#haiku #senryu
DO NOT SCROLL
taped on my keyboard
its own bad news
#haiku #senryu
close my eyes:
all those birds 60Hz
and that hiss
#haiku #senryu

woods full of birds
but only
in the one ear
#haiku #senryu
birds fly as I approach
robins and starlings
leaving just the crows
