Haiku Lover

No formal training
Just thoughts flowing free, restless
Bouncing wall to wall

***

Cold, dreary Tuesday
Shivers like a wet, gray dog
Howling at the moon

***

Black superhero
In cold, snowy kimchi land
Dreadlocked, flies in air

***

Butchered Italian
Unrolled R’s and off-key pitch
Pavarotti boos

***

Six p.m. Wednesday
Cute talk, smiles, fast attraction
Pink martini flush

***

3 a.m. phone call
Hushed, whispered apologies
My Redemption Song

***

Black and white photo
A color-spattered spectrum
Struggles to get out

***

Wind-battered hairdo
Like blackbirds fleeing skyward
Wasted half hour

***
Driving in the rain
Blame it on the weatherman
Shiny bike retired

***

Bright sunburst sarong
A mirage of sun and surf
Longing for ocean
