And on a happy note...

Wisdom unfolding
A waltz to time's cantered gait

To what end?

Saying just to say
The way gets lost easily
In thirty-one days

Inspiration

Wells run dry or full
Without our consultation
Still we wonder why

Words smoothed and fitted
A picture captured in voice
Just ten more days, blog

Middle East rages
More people losing their homes

Happy Birthday, Ryan

First born, many needs
Boundless imagination

The weather is getting to me

Rain patters and pools
Above, a dismal gray veil
Turns the world sulking

A message from the Blogmeister

The Haiku Commentator deeply regrets that his already o'er-crowded brain has been short-circuited today with anticipation of a certain Dinosaur Jr. show he will attend tonight at The Vic Theatre in Chicago. Today's Haiku (Japanese, Celtic or otherwise) has been preempted by this sad state of mind, further exacerbated by the disturbing realization that the last time said Haiku Commentator saw Dinosaur Jr. was at Lollapalooza in 1993.

Where does the time go?

Peace and irony

Legacy of hope
So deftly sculpted by pride

From-beyond-the-grave robber

The music of dead Michael Jackson
Is once again gaining some traction.
Since the song rings a bell
--And it does, you can tell--
It’s amazing there’s no legal action.

When posting gets tough
On travel days like this one

Iowa City

Carpets orange, red
Rustle with hurried footsteps

Physics, my enemy

Forward momentum
Coffee's magic still absent
"Who put the door there?"
Yes, I ran into the door this morning. Now I have a stylish red line bisecting my forehead. Ugh.

The not so Jolly Roger

Every once in a long while
Makes the whole world grin

Simple pleasures

The languid cascade spreading
Tranquil, warm and smooth

Brain cramp!

Sudden sense of nil
Thoughts bleeding into the void

Too short a season

Summer's honeyed light leaving
Shadows yawn and stretch

Pack up the cake, Rich
