a moment of clarity

Julio Chapluzki — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:11:43 +0000

in the pushing, pull,
thoughtsfearsapprehensions fade;
straining clears the mind

Cup O’Noodle

Julio Chapluzki — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 18:15:24 +0000

with a stolen spoon,
not cleaned from last time,
noodle-iscious attack!

Playing Fetch

Julio Chapluzki — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 02:11:24 +0000

Constantly bounding
back and forth and back,
doggy style i live and breathe.

end of summer haiku

dessicated grass
sends up dust when mowed;
the heat wilts leaves.

Continental Divide

Julio Chapluzki — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 02:44:03 +0000

Like a drop of rain,
eastward I flowed;
irresistible current.

haiku

in the grass
amid shards of glass:
amaranth.

haiku

Julio Chapluzki — Sat, 22 May 2010 14:14:26 +0000

one cause leads to the effect:
like coffee to poo;
like me loving you.

haiku

a cold breeze
rustles new oak leaves:
from somewhere the scent of lilacs.

haiku

David X. Hugo — Fri, 07 May 2010 15:40:40 +0000

the rain makes oily
rainbows in the parking lot;
the empire’s facade.

haiku

rcribay — Mon, 03 May 2010 23:45:12 +0000

sky suddenly darkening,
wind bending branches–
i wait for the rain.

haiku

rcribay — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 15:35:42 +0000

walking past
petals on a wet, black bough;
Pound on my tongue.

haiku

rcribay — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 23:59:51 +0000

in the courtyard, a tree,
heavy with blossoms–
a light rain begins.

not the usual “bad weed” stench on my block tonight

joshuagrace — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 02:52:25 +0000

Overdue sweet smells-

Lylac and budding tree leaves

Refresh Kensington.

haiku

rcribay — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 22:26:25 +0000

she runs ahead
umbrella-less in the rain;
over her shoulder, smiles.

smell the glove

joshuagrace — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 00:54:27 +0000

Dewy grass, sunrise,

the swirling echoes plodding-

My brothers’ feet.

haiku

rcribay — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 02:35:00 +0000

over your shoulder,
in the latticed window:
the first shock of forsythia.

cool spring morning

Julio Chapluzki — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:37:25 +0000

still jacket weather
but painful no more;
let dreams of travel commence.

fish, greens, and rice

some days lunch just tastes

so much better and you eat

gratitude ’til full

haiku

Julio Chapluzki — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:39:45 +0000

after a long day,
it all goes away;
vitamin-c soaked vodka.

haiku

rcribay — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 03:29:53 +0000

a patchwork of tracks
captured in dried mud–
spring hints.
