15 Haiku
A bud
lying on the ground
in spring
The night sky
in every movement
of the dark ocean
Stepping outside
dog rolls his eyes
a long summer ahead
So lonely
I take my walls down
with me
It's so late
so dark
I am the only one awake
Everything will be better
in the morning,
I am told
My server
is serving
only himself
He checks the mail
for the third time
today
Children on leashes
and cats
eating out of crystal bowls
The treetops are green
her hair, also, is green
now, we are god.
A dog barking outside
what is he saying,
Muhammad?
My wife yells
loudest
when I am hung-over
What are those things
that look like worms
on pine trees?
Patches of sand
beside
patches of grass
The last bird
without a mate
has no gin at home.

not too shabby. ...i have an assignment to write 5 haikus for Poetry Writing due on Monday.. so, thanks for some extra inspiration!
WEll, I like what they say especially the one about your wife yells loudest....good reason not to get drunk again, I guess. BUt Question from the English teacher here...don't haiku follow a part. format of 3 lines with 5,7,5 syllables?!? you like to break with conventions, don't you?
