Happy Birthday, Ryan

First born, many needs

Boundless imagination

Grow in love, my son

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

Into something less

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.

The view from here

History's shoulders

A perch as solid and stiff

As shrugging allows

Disaster planning

When posting gets tough

On travel days like this one

Go for the zombies
