Working senryu

Back-to-back meetings:
9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Yes, Fridays can suck.

Chilly moldy senryu

Cleaning out the fridge:
The theme song to "Weird Science"
Running through my head.

Grimy senryu

I would wash the bike —
But Mrs. Fetched would insist
I wash her car, too.

Oooookayyyy

A Chinese seamstress
Said to my Daughter Dearest:
"Your boobs are heavy."

Bony

Tall woman jogging.
Are her breasts really smaller
Than her knobby knees???

But It's Year-Round

Her quick refusal
Summons the deep winter chill
Into our bedroom.

Dead Chicken Senryu (w/video)

Not for weak stomachs. Text of the senryu is below if you don't want to see the video.



At the chicken house:
Dung and decay fill the air.
How appetizing!

More Christmas senryu

When I was younger,
I would be the first one up
On Christmas morning.

Another either/or

Pattering on leaves:
Raindrops falling from the roof?
Or a swarm of mice?

Christmas senryu

Long string of red lights:
A Christmas decoration?
or traffic at night?

Tra-la

The choir director
Pauses, then gives the downbeat.
The music begins.

Untitled

From two deep, dark pools:
A hunger reaches toward me,
Yet unrealized.
