the only empty seat

Filed under: pre-06-2006 — David Giacalone @ 2:57 pm

eyeing the spot

where our bumpers bumped–

snow in his thick eyebrows

coffee shop . . .

      the only empty seat

      still warm

mourning dove

returns to the porch rail

        new snow fluffs off

“schoolBrooks” Randy Brooks, from School’s Out (Press Here, 1999)

by dagosan:

staring match out my window —

I blink first

the squirrel scampers

full-moon stroll

after the snowstorm —

bright, cold, and lovely

“tinyredcheck” Over at haikupoet.com, Paul and Mary Mena have a nice new look,

and more great photo-haiku combos. The last one, reminded me why

I often dislike buses and elevators, so I penned:

still here
after he leaves the bus —
stranger’s cologne

You can catch me proselytizing about Small Claims Reform, over at

Crime & Federalism today. It might sound familiar to our visitors.

Last week, I forgot to mention George Carlin’s take on poetry, when I

mentioned enjoying his new book, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?   It’s

only one sentence: “More people write poetry than read poetry.”   I still like the book.

The entire f/k/a gang is very glad that Prof. Althouse is safe after her auto

accident. Evan Schaeffer empathizes, but wonders about the wisdom of admitting fault

at the scene and on her weblog. Walter Olson manages not to mention tort reform (but,

I bet he was tempted).

f/k/a archives . . . real opinions & real haiku
