Is it the cherries,
Deep red and stemmed in the bowl,
Pulling the hand out?

Sweet cedar scent wafts
Out from a bedroom closet
Young days remembered

To accumulate
All powers in the same hands
Such is tyranny

Solipsism Solipsism - the theory that the self is the only thing that can be known. That everything outside of yourself cannot be proven to be real. Yet, real or not, those things, those people, those situati

Solipsism is
A disbelief in what's real.
You still have to deal.

Prong horns crop grass
Bedside grazing beef cattle.
Why all the barbed wire?

A fragrant green bush
Blossoms many blue flowers
Remember this now

Withering light wakes
The hungry mouths unaware
Morning has broken

Rhinoceros Rhin-O-ceros. RHIN-oceros. RHIN-o-CEROS. Say it over and over in your head. Say it out loud, again and again. Change the stresses, change the vowel sounds. Let the word become a meaningless set

A word can be fun
Fun to say, fun to repeat
Such is Rhinoceros

Birds flying in clouds
Plants growing up from the dirt
Basic chords forever

Dark clouds race on by
Hiding the wide open sky.

This image is Pablo Picasso's famous 1937 anti-war painting, Guernica. It was painted as a powerful political statement and reaction to the Nazi bombing of the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. The mural is painted in a monochromatic Cubist style, featuring contorted figures of humans and animals to depict the suffering caused by war.

A small mound of sand
Built grain by grain by workers.
A thoughtless foot stomps.

Murmurations Watching starlings swirl and twine together in the sky above a city park. Couple with a baseline and some simple chords, circle the stereo and think of you.

The swirling beauty
Of amassed starlings flying.
Invasive species.

Blooming trains of white petals.
Bumble bees abound.

Grey twigs form new buds
Pulling sunlight into sap.

A fresh path beckons
Forward into a new day.
Dewey webs will part.

A rock is kicked down
A hill, dragging more along.
Most rocks do not move.

Nice! For additional fun(?), remove a letter from the alphabet and try again, a la 'Ella Minnow Pea' by Mark Dunn.

The original haiku:

Resting up on blocks,
A sun-blasted Subaru.
Adventures over.
