Senryu x 3

flames for Africa
a hot girl in my chimney
move over Santa

send me an angel
send me an angel, right now,
right now, burns me up ... Real Life, remember that one?

Our love is custard
You're so white and I'm an egg
beat it, beat it, Uh! ... one for Michael.

Haiku

Love's procession high
the carnival train returns
turning of the wheel

Sketching in the dust
mountains and rivers abound
two birds on a stone

Meadows in the spring
a golden hour of blossom
fragrance on the wind

Winter horse

She came down running
from the frosted virgin snow
stood on the roadside
in the evening winter glow
as the northerlies did blow

Morning light

In the morning light
we would feel alright
hold each other tight
'till the evening light.

We would dance all night
laughing breathless
in each others eyes
'till the morning light.

When I sleep at night
you are on my mind
smiling breathless
'till morning light.

We would dance all night
hold each other tight
laughing breathless
'till the morning light.

When I close my eyes
in the evening light
you are on my mind
dancing through the night.

In the morning light
with open eyes
I wonder
will you dance
with me tonight?

PROLUTION

“In the future,
all parts of the body and brain,”
the professor beamed
at his rapt audience
“will be replaceable.”

“PROMAN will pursue
his ever-adjustable programs
forever.
He will affix to and discard from
his body, as required,
all that is in need of renewal.”

"He will function faultlessly
as per The Blueprint.
‘Imperfect’ man and ‘polluted’ Earth
will at last be done with.”

“Does that mean there’ll be no more
Father Xmas?” a student asked, aghast.
“Sorry,” the professor dourly replied;
“no chimneys likely.”

a manic state of consciousness.

as transient time passes without a clue of your existence
staggering down the stairs as the thoughts are persistence
no one to here
and no one to see
all alone with you self postulation
taking the writings of the chart, you throw away all your parts
the mind of ones self becomes vague and you began to weaver
the ideas you have are all have consequences with their actions
to make love with an unknown with no second thinking then changes your perception about what love is
going on shopping sprees with superfluous splurging,
now your in debt and you are depressed while withdrawing
the sounds stay reticence while the thoughts go to bed
moving the body that was once had vitality is no a stress
irritable and tired you want to press
on the button to end it all
here comes a light that is filled with hope
you say hello to the one unknown
she says its alright, your going through casualties that were all in your mind
lets sit down and talk she says
im your wife untill the end.

About this poem:
This is a haiku I wrote many years ago when I was living in Clifornia.

In the seventies Haikus were very popular in Northern Califormia, as were many things Japanese aand Indian: the hippie era and 'alternative' living and religions.
