5 Haiku by Hugh

Anti-haiku

The weather is bad

Cherry blossoms smell like crap

And I’m hungover

Off

Internet is down

Conversation seems prudent

What’s your name again?

So

Van Goh was insane —

Landscapes and genius need light

And torrents of rain

Doh

A dogwood in bloom

A cat pissing on its trunk

I feel funny too 

Implicit

A murder of crows

Dead dog, middle of the road

Turkey vultures dance
