Haiku haiku hi
Hello – I am a haiku
A meta haiku.

I had to pee bad
The coffee was the reason
It was so worth it!

Spring, hours away
Oh winter, go suck an egg
Summer, you smell nice

Black & white you are
Looking at me, fondly
I love you Monkey

This is a haiku
I wrote this haiku for you
I hope you’re not blue

3 in the morning
Looking at old photographs
Of you and me then

A light breeze comes in
Through the window and kisses
My cheek so softly

Voice thick like muted
Screams slapped on the face of
God-like bronze women

Wait to speak at the
“Trash only” cacophony
Patient to listen

 Go write a novel
Put your twitter name on it
It’s twenty thirteen.

Words at WAM 13
Our collective poetry
Will blow all your minds

Raw pigment on walls,
Swallowed by conversation –
What color are words?

We smoked a oney
Couldn’t tell it’s real funny
Time’s cheap, no money

White on white by white
It’s thoughtful – don’t you get it?
Blank, exclusive art

Ponderous cloaked men
Ninja turtle S&M
Waiting for the end

Twerk twerk twerk twerk twerk
Twerk twerk twerk twerk twerk twerk twerk
Twerk twerk twerk twerk twerk

Once upon a time
There was a singer who sucked
No one ever knew

Blank frames and blank flames
Green tea in a plastic cup
Warhol aint dead, man
