#BigDuckEnergy

A jar of freshly rendered duck fat.

Snacking on crispy quacklings I made while rendering this jar of glorious duck fat for future potatoes and confit everything. Bones are turning into stock.

This time, it’s personal (cue the action movie music).

Glass Condescension

Defensive reflex.
For want of self-reflection
before the breakup.

Summers Past Time

Perfectly ripe peach
Sanguine soul’s self-conjuring
Neanderthal dreams

I See a Red Door and I Want It Painted Jumpsuit Orange

Cabinets made of
rapists, traitors, traffickers,
and thieves lack hinges.

The Scout
Foolish early birds
get frosty feet, harsh lessons,
and no protein snacks.

Ew.

Ticks on a Leech

Turgid parasites
tend to not enjoy the last
explosive nibble.

Hot and cold are oil and water in an 80 yr old building.

Old Plumbing

Slight change in timbre
Intensifying droplets
At last, hot water!

Let’s play another round of Syllables With Friends.

Duh Dum

A felon can’t be
Law & Order president.
These are their stories.

I Don’t Even Know Where to Begin

Unpacking one’s life
Cardboard boxes and thought blobs
An endless process

The Oracle Lobby

I wanted to eat
cereal in The Matrix
but there is no spoon.

I make a lot of jokes about geese. But swans? No joke. They WILL cut a hen.

From one haikutianist to another (with an admittedly cooler name than my faux nom de plumage).

With gratitude.

Dave once met a girl,
Anaconda.
Her cute lisp, he was really quite fond of.
But court they could not do,
as to nine meters length she grew,
and Dave owned a subcompact Honda.

As much as I appreciate the concepts of #vss365 and #vssdaily, my #haikufeels more like self-promptrepreneurship. To thank every #blueskpoet and shamelessly promote #haiku, #senryu, and #bigduckenergy, here’s a #575poem.

Hemingway’s Revenge
It’s poetic that
iambic pentameter
is an awkward term.

Dude, I’m a dude pretending to be a robber baron duck who writes real poetry, posts real commentary about the funeral dirge of a society in which we currently live, and makes real jokes about the stupidity of geese. Only in a sky so blue.

I love contact sports and driving fast and Pantera and Wu-Tang and dirty jokes and making fun of geese. And yet, AND YET, I have become the Etsy Betsy Shopper. Life does occasionally take a strange turn.

Geese, man. They really are something. They are the “very stable geniuses” of the neighborhood. They have a saying that goes “Birds of a feather are called birds.” Geese…
