Wilderness Haiku

“A treasured soul departs
treading trails no man has walked
Hike forever on”

“Ike Turner's demise
Who will be chef on South Park?
Rocket 88!”

“Flatlander is daft
Always wry, but never scotch
Rockabilly Flats”

“bitter december
deeply frozen footprints
outside a funeral home”

“Sprinlers are a pain
When are left on overnight
Morning ice rink, ow”

“(excellent, Kleetn)

eleven thousand
does elevation matter?
closer to heaven?”

“my morning challenge:
avoid frozen rivulets
down slanted driveway”

“My evening challenge....avoiding hurling on Kleetn's poem.”

“hurl on, oh Spirit
fear not spewing on Kleet'n
aged beard is hoar”

“did you jsut call kleeten a whore?”

“zombie coyote...
WTF? R U the same
spirit coyote?

rabies, unscooped poop
what could be the problem here?
too many canines”

“Some Zappa advice
Watch out where the Huskies go
Don't eat yellow snow”

“Warm in the cabin
Miles of mountain views in white
Forgetting ascent”

“Dunadan is like
Thoureau smoking a crack pipe.
Walden-a-hit, babe?”

“
Well, this is one of those threads that you see now and then
You don't know just where and you don't know just when
It's one of those threads that are over and then
It's one of those threads that start goin' again

Yes, it's just one of those threads that you read for awhile
That comes into fashion then goes out of style
It's one of those threads that you think you forgot
But it's one of those threads you cannot!

        Hey!

“Pale blue above me
Pink whisps blown by northern wind
Hurry to warm house”

“Tip of lodgepole pine,
Bowing softly to white snow
Sunrise will straighten”

“(nice one, rosey, you haiku monster)

Shoes splashing brown slush
Treacherous slippery streets
Dream about summer”

“Why thank you, oh great haiku master.”

“Whispering secrets
Silent snow laden forests
Do not seek the sun”

“Darkness brings on sleep
Deep winter abides in North
Stand closer to fire”

“she'll want to read this
bump for spirit coyote
haikus are the best”

“CB, I should ignore you just for THAT!”

“Great white peaks abound
Ringing the azure waters
Solice can be found”

“jimi hendrix sang
let me stand next to your fire
turn your head and scoff”

“Slather up the buns
Lube and warm up the skewer
Colonoscopy”

“Ha! How is this a wilderness haiku? Unless, ya know, you consider it caving...”

“Cave-o-noscopy
Wilderness experience
Yeah that's the ticket!”

“Dunadan's dark hole
Who knows what adventure waits
I don't want to know”

“Drop four more fathoms
New worlds to explore down there
It's Kleetn's squirrel!”

“jimi hendrix sang
'scuse me while i kiss the sky
...somewhere, a black hole”

“aerosmith: how else
could steven tyler have sex
with gorgeous women?

journey. sweet journey.
just what are the lovin' things?
...don't stop believin'”

“scorchfire's favorite band?
jeremy spoke in class today
pearl jam i am”

“Scorchie had a cat
What do ya think about that
Horkin' up hair balls

“yankee in congress
pitcher, inject thyself
roger clem-oid, yo!”

“Making a line drive
Right down the old artery
Oh, Sister Steroids”

“Roger no Dodger
But Barry was a Giant!
Needles on the house”

“Ice inside my brain
Cold sun behind steel gray clouds
It's February”

“I can't imagine
the constant cold on my brain
get thee west, young man”

“strangely glowing orb
brings warmth to sodden city
seattle winter”

“Thanks for the invite
Ten years in San Francisco
Midwest is my home”

“silly sodbuster
kansas flatlands are no fun
dirt clods wrack your brain”

“Caucused for Barack
Front row at Red Hot Chili's
Hip enough for you?”

“True stereotypes
Like Woody Allen said
"Wheat, nothing but wheat."”

“Tornado alley
Rockin' the windy fresh beats
with Dorth and Todo.”

“Nothing but nothing
Midwestern geography
Rich man needs nothing”

“you silly libbie!
caucus for huckabee!
the LORD commands you!”

“Get thee behind me!
Cast thine vote in heaven, Knee
Huckabee thine king

“Dunadan don't know
Haiku goes five then seven
Then five you poophead”

“Tomato tally
Corn, peas, beans, rockin' the beets
Shuckin' jivin'.....Huck”
