Too Much Heat

The outdoor sauna:
Planet Georgia in summer.
Let's all get naked!

Mind-numbing

Looking for coffee
After a presentation
To reboot my brain.

Of Male Vanity

45 degrees:
Tattooed guy in a tank top
Shows off his physique?

Wasted effort

So many haters
Who don't understand Twitter
So they must bash it.

Evening colors

Thin clouds in the west.
Sunset smears them with color:
God’s own finger paint.

Political Epiphany

Even God Himself
Must struggle with False Witness
And Willful Ignorance.

Too soon! Too soon!

Yawning and blinking,
Students stand along the road
Waiting for the bus.

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.
