haikus

audrey and i spent part of our evening writing haikus. we would give each other a "topic" and spend the next couple of minutes composing a haiku. here were the results:

ice

slippery water 

blue time freezer moves slowly 

glacial paced glaciers 

homosexuality

i plug in the light 

no electricity flows 

love despite the shame 

les mis

one life turned around 

does the same to all others 

a ripple effect 

all is lost, all found 

you forgot the candlesticks 

silver salvation 

dogs

scruffy ball of joy 

you bring more to the table 

than most humans do 

unopened flower

wake up little one 

your time, it has almost come 

reveal your beauty 

a lightbulb that just came on

edison forgot 

to tell us about the hum 

fresh new current's spark 

garbage floating in the river

i don't belong here 

used useless good-for-nothing 

yet have many friends 

st. croix

unturned dirt grows hard 

chickens look for worms within 

finally! tilled earth! 

waterfall

roaring, splatter, mist 

steading dropping, constant reach 

powerfully graceful
