moth-eaten blanket in the sun
dog-stained snow
a warm breeze

the spear
a pond
in its own rain

[img alt: drip drip drip icicle in the sun]

frozen
rabbit eye white
wolf moon

summer growth
autumn color
winter blanket

forever like cholesterol
shilling diamonds
bedazzled calphalon

sunrise drips
into predawn remnants
stuck between the trees

HI-Q: V8

clouds
puddles of shadow
mirroring
stop line asphalt
oil stain

layered lights
all the way down
then dusk

rolling gallery wall signed by the pseudonym

there is no difference
from a distance
between rock and water drop

the lights
beacons
in the gray

[img alt: two windows curtain pulls closer on the day]

time passes over the candle wick like blown smoke
crumbs

---

[img alt: blown out cupcake wrapper wrapped ‘round smoke of memories]

minor moments adding up to a major scale

branches heavy
with nuts
and their gatherers

tic
tac
treetop
snagged the sky

just realized that yesterday’s Hi-Q was the 1000th consecutive one i’ve done.

between them
more than their shared shade
does wind make a sound?

fortune favors the bold(ed) type

found
trifecta hit
with a hammer

a fresh start on the same old
every day is the start of a new year

another trip around the sun
sequel or original concept?

redacting fortunes from pulped tea leaves

cow tools

how to haiku

the cycle begins anew brighter days ahead

HI-Q: ANTI-[ ]-BIOTIC

scrip for the pharma company store
syringe binge

Recommendation
the rhythm achieved through repitition in this poem is mesmerizing

highly recommend listening to the poet read it (assuming he’s the one doing the reading at that link)
