waking up with you;\\

Cottonmouth sunning
By the Little Dutchman CreekLittleDutchman,
Will you Come See Me?ComeSeeMe

Into the No-Rock-Hill
The sound of No-Cicadas\\

and the soul is a moth (こころは飛ぶ蛾)\\

Ah! the noise;
Into the No-Rock-Hill The sound of No-Cicadas penetrating

How relentlessly they scatter!
The calendar pages
This spring

Tomorrow’s slacks
On today’s floor—
How quickly life goes by!

強く吹けども\\

 苦づのよう
 友さを長く
 夏の日に

Like the kudzu vine/ I hope our friendship grows long/ in the summer sun

 春行くぞ		Mourns departing Spring

summer moon (夏の月)
and the soul is a moth (こころ飛ぶ蛾)
but the body
earthbound (身は毛虫)

             石處々 rocks higgledy-piggledy

rainy day Rock Hill

 世をすてた		Discarding the world
 前にワーホー		But first at the Waffle House
 春行くぞ		Mourns departing Spring 

Intoxicated
by her beauty, blah blah blah
and then we broke up

愛すべき (I should love you)
でも、夏がくる (But when summer comes)
別れかな (I suppose we shall part)

rainy day Rock Hill

cottonmouth sunning
by the Little Dutchman CreekLittleDutchman
Come See MeComeSeeMeかな

the muddy red clay
on my boots and in my car—
rainy day Rock Hill

             reading my letters
             should everyone but you write
             still my heart would ache

Now each and every night will end
Dawning in white plum blossoms\\

feeling emptier.

waking up with you
but in my dreams all last night
you were someone else

Now each and every night will end Dawning in white plum blossoms —http://deadhobosociety.com/haiku/viewHaiku.php?TextId=52 Buson

    一人かな

crumpled sheets
sweat dries, sticky residue
feeling emptier.

           洋梨咲くと

beneath fractal trees
and cold, sad stars\\

           洋梨?咲くと

beneath fractal trees and cold, sad stars i can’t help but sigh

crescent moon and clouds

 (ホーボーの生活って)
     寒い夜
    火の前に我
    一人かな

           洋梨�咲くと

memories ripple
flags on poles\\

    We answered: “No cheese, no bees, no trees.”

wafting from my bed
is the scent of her perfume;
crescent moon and clouds

memories rippleflags on polestoo high to reach.

           as the http://www.completesquare.org/archives/000186.php bradford pears blossom

春雨や (Oh, spring rain)
腹がふわふわ (My stomach flutters)
思出かな (Could it be memories?)

barely touching.

 “My Vacation”
    By http://www.floridatoday.com/space/explore/stories/1999b/071899b.htm Neil Armstrong
    Nine summers ago, I went for a visit,
    To see if the moon was green cheese.
    When we arrived, people on earth asked: “Is it?”
    We answered: “No cheese, no bees, no trees.”

            くさいカニ

bamboo canopy
rain slips through, elusive
barely touching.

           洋梨�さくと

           洋梨��

            stinking crab meat smell

          好きな子や
           洋梨�

            stinking crab meat smell

wilting flowers

          oh, my would-be love,
           as the bradford pears blossom
            rotten crab meat stink

fallen autumn leaves

a season of change
careful arrangements
wilting flowers

         (http://deadhobosociety.com/haiku/viewHaiku.php?TextId=13 Buson)

scattered on my floor
old drafts, papers, notes, reports
fallen autumn leaves

         柳散  willow bare
           清水涸 clear stream dried up
             石處々 rocks higglety pigglety
         (http://deadhobosociety.com/haiku/viewHaiku.php?TextId=13 Buson)

love makes me tired
the ocean crashing always
wears down rocks

強く吹くのに\\

冬終わりぬ
また恋に
落ちられず

still in winter’s love
can’t fall
but I mended

けふ一人
我がさび心
なつかしい

now today
my lonely heart
a lone familiar

 blew love:how strongly though autumn winds/  life  

命：
秋の風
強く吹くのに\\ 愛しけり

It is very early
I’m a bit tired
but there’s still much work to do

Please add to this list of haiku/haiku-like poetry as you see fit. English, Japanese, Latin, whatever. It’d be nice if one haiku led into another in some subtle way, but if that doesn’t happen, it’s still cool. If you can fix up the page by changing a poem or reordering them, also good. Use \\ at the end of each line to force line breaks.

(life: though autumn winds/ blew strong/ how lovely)
