An impromptu Haiku (or two)

Tuna Ghost: Pratt knot hero

06:42 / 14.02.02

Sitting on lunch box
Smiling at my co-workers
Hearing bullshit fly

At Denny's; coffee
New ciggarette, meal; why do
I feel so tired?

Walking home; no car
Feet slap against hot asphalt
Feeling no envy

Tuna Ghost: Pratt knot hero

Petting a finicky cat

Sunlight warmed fur
Streching, yawning, blinking, but!
Not minding my hand

Mowing the lawn...satori?

Mowing the green lawn,
It hits me: I understand
What the grass says now

This is so much more fun than I thought it would be. Impromptu poetry...who'd have thought...

facsimiled love
bite through my chocolate heart
anything beneath?

One day in a year
flowers pantomime affection
that i consider
giving you a rose every day
means more than doing it once.

Technically, it's a tanka.
