Wilderness Haiku

“null”

“Recent scribblings:

Someone peering at me:
And then the tombstone poked thru
last year's snow.

(Denning Trailhead, NY)

Thinking there was a fire,
I found your smile
in the candlelight.

Drop the beggar a dime,
But he needs a dollar:
Outside the liquor store. (The Bronx)

Carefully scrutinizing the menu:
Red-tailed hawk
at perch.”

“Silver cans flying
Sprays of brown from car ahead
Following redneck”

“A new idea?
No, More of the same,
Haiku is doo doo.”

“Set the VCR!
Dukes of Hazzard Marathon
At 9 O'Clock!”

“Alright! Another Haiku Thread.

Graduation nears
Hiking is now pre-ordained
I will be there soon

A brand new Ursack
New MSR Dragonfly
I'll try them both soon”

“Five syllables first,
next line seven syllables.
Not too tough to do!”

“Haiku like bowling
is very easy to write
but hard to write well

Morning lights my face
the bed is vast and empty
Long roads between us”

“That last one was good
PedXing injects some class
Should I try harder?”

“Dense forest beckons
Impenetrable beyond
Guess I'll stay the path”

“I stand on the edge
The view ever unfolding
What a perfect day”

“Help me find wild
The woods have kept it safe still
Walking through the joy”

“In spite of the fear
And chance of horrible death
Longing to see bear”

“Rain on the scarecrow
Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow
Blood on the plow”

“In early morn' mist
I search TrailTalk for
Intelligent life: none found”

“buncha kindie gardners!!!”

“Dark trace of fire
rustle of smoke wings follow
the first rain drops fall

Wind roars, lightning flash
storm outside, my tent cowers.
Damn! Where's that maglite?

Sun begins to rise
pink fills the vast horizon
nature comes to life

At work I haiku
instead of doing my job
what's more important?”

“nice coo, kleetyfoo
such poetic affluence
now git back ta work!

smack!
;o)”

“Silhouetted wings
Bright blue with clouds surrounds earth
Lying on my back”

“Rhyming footstep sounds
Trail tunnels through green forest.
We move wordlessly.”

“haiku is stupid
poetry that does not rhyme?
what a bunch of crap!”

“8D”

“radagast the fool
understands not the haiku
bite the wax tadpole”

“you punk ass sucker!
don't you talk smack to me, kleetn!
i will kick your ass!”

“small scaly reptile
talks smack but cannot harm
you feel lucky, punk?”

“You two are hikers.
Quite acting like tough bikers.
Now kiss and make-up.”

“screams fill the dark night
wassup yo flyguy 6 x?
kiss rad? please kill me”

“Lounge lizard blew it!
Eight beats in the middle line
Haiku too complex?”

“Its Trail Talk haiku,
it can be six, seven, eight.
Un ed u ca ble!”

“i assumed that "kleetn"
was a one syllable word.
i apologize.”

“do the haiku right
and I'll give you this Spam treat
you stupid monkey!”

“Try to eat pudding
Without first eating the meat?
It don't work that way.”

“Spock scans the couscous.
"It's life, Jim," he tells Kirk, "but...
not as we know it."”

“Bomb bay doors open
There goes another kaboom!
Sunrise in Kabul”

“Kleetn, you are killing me here. I think you've discovered your artistic gift.”

“Sweet trees, sweet forest.
Birds take wing in a panic.
Find peace where you can.”

“Squirrel standing still
Senses alert, muscles taut
Something is hanging.”

“Flies love me. A place
To meet, mate, eat, excrete. Sure
Beats a horse's ass.”

“Ignorant ones, all.
TT worthless, I must leave.
But now I am back.”

“Good one Dan Da Man!!!!”

“This form evades me.
I guess I like the rhyming.
"Haiku." "Bless you." "Thanks."”

“Glad you liked it, Big.
I was once poor and stupid.
Now there is haiku...”

“Hello Dunadan
Glad you have some money now
One down, one to go.

;-)”

“Still poor and stupid
But when I speak in verses Now people listen”

“Just because we hear
Doesn't mean we're listening.
(But of course, we are.)”

“Prisoner of my job.
Climate-controlled offices.
Real life waits outside.”

“Hiking in the woods
What I feel I cannot see
Is a bear following me”

“Where is Buddah Bear
Gone from TT forever
Treking on the trail”

“Solo hikes are great
Seeing the woods in silence
Alone with my thoughts”

“Climbing up the hill
All energy focused ahead
My f__king legs hurt!”
