DailyHaiku - A Daily Shot Of Zen

There was this excitement

Remember we met—
The power was out,
Buying new light bulbs.

Heart tripping
On chest's trampoline,
Ribs spotting for falls.

Peanuts
In a paper heart—allergy
My throat swells with love.

            (Found under the lamp)
            6 cans red beans; 2 cream of corns
            1 pair of pantyhose

There were these parties

In April, plastic snowmen
Cover the yard;
This is why I stay.

The doctor called again;
I can't believe you walked here
With only one shoe.

            (Found in Luke's gospel)
            Lamps for lighting, oil to burn
            Red wine for drinking

There was this falling

This should have worked;
Spring so close—daisies
Choking the snow.

While everything falls apart—
In the Farmer's Almanac:
Split peas never broken.

            (Found behind closed doors)
            Seven syllables to survive
            Five words on tongue's tip

There was this memory

Seven months before you left
Even the dryers predicted loss
In Morse-Sock-Code

After you are gone
She says, "were you two an item?"
"Only one on discount."

            (Found on the fridge door)
            A new shovel, it snowed again
            Maybe a small plant?
