Waltz to and fro,
clothes loose as thought,
brain open.
A bitch blows
strong gales of storm
to unsettle sand.
Listen with eyes,
hear with mouth,
dance with fingers.
Think,
thunk,
died.
Don't study
so as
to create.
Read short sonnets
of free verse
long thought.
Why take
notes on a
pathetic song?
Fake laughs
foster egos
and tickle brains,
Convinced atheists
weep in God's
glory.
lunatic's note: Jack Kerouac wrote what he defined as a "western Haiku," he deemed the original syllabyl laden poems of the Japanese were most certainly marvelous but impossible to match with the English language, noting the "fluid syllabic Japanese" language to be the reason for Japanese Haikus being so short, sweet, and life worthy. Anyways, I think Jack is cool, and so I decided to be a little like him and go after this western Haiku idea, so this is what I did, it was during a meeting that was frustrating and longer than I had planned for-so please enjoy, if it is bad, let me know!
