Haiku 2021 Part 5, #33-39

-

 #33 (inspired by Pat Flynn)

You have to be the
disaster before you can
become the master

#34

Knowing just "achtung,"
"Gesundheit," "Schadenfreude,"
"Doppelganger," "eins"

#35

Arabesque, ode to
architecture, lines stretching
into far beyond



#36

Feet planted, arching
spine, heart thrust toward the sun,
arms thrown wide open

#37

Think only of Me
Infinite They, all Being
Think only of We

#38

Do you truly hope
ancestors watch us living,
see earth from heaven?

#39

Is there anything 
so lovely as watching snow
fall while warm inside

Many of my clients seek powerful...

I love how poetry can say so much with so few words, and so I got a couple of quickies for you today. My Dad kindly gifted me a couple of his collections of Richard Brautigan’s poetry from the 60s, “Revenge of the Lawn” and “Trout Fishing in America,” and I enjoyed their prosey and sometimes absurd lines in my youth (and now!).  The Scarlatti Tilt By Richard Brautigan “It’s very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who is learning to play the violin.” That’s what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.   In 2018, when I thought I was turning 37, it was actually my 36th birthday. I even told a friend, wrongly, how old I would be turning the next day and had to then correct myself, having done the non-complicated arithmetic. You see, my ex-wife and I were 1.5 years apart in age so starting with her birthday each December, she’d start rounding-up my age (“you’re almost 36!”) so she seemed to be only one ye...
