Flag

American flag

Flies above the autumn trees

Proclaiming freedom

Pumpkin

Pumpkin by the curb

Sitting by the garbage bag

Not a Christmas tree

Green

Water meter hole

Wish they didn't paint you blue

I like green better

Dog

Hey you, dog up there!

This is MY daily walk path

Go the other way

by Boo Boo the Wonder Dog

Puzzle

Sudoku puzzle

Level three challenges me

Morning brainteaser

Poison

Candy on the street

My favorite kind to eat

You could be poisoned

Odiferous

Smell Weezie's pancakes

Smell Falafel Avenue

Downtown morning walk

Bright

Walking headed east

Early morning sun rising

It's bright out here!

Tiny

Wee, perfect apple

Alone among bigger fruit

In the three pound bag

Pink

Drivers can't see me

Wearing my bright pink jacket

I'm invisible

Slow

I walk slow some days 

One woman stop enforcement 

At downtown crosswalks

Crisp!

Eyes are watering

Walking into the north wind

Welcome to winter

Dedication haiku - Ingrid Williams

My Tulsa friend, Ingrid, saw my haiku posting this morning and she loved the idea of a haiku blog. She wrote a nice haiku which I complimented. It was so nice and educated sounding.

Mine are snarky.

Ingrid replied with this:

haiku to the snark 

a power packed inside words 

creative and real

I loved that because I am creative and, most definitely, REAL!

A couple of hours later, I see in my tweet stream:

and then:

Coming to the aid of a friend, I snarked out the following haiku in her honor.

Mister Line Cutter

Stretched hose screams, "ME FIRST ME FIRST" 

Wait your turn, loser

Slow

Mister street cleaner

Slowly cleans the downtown streets

While reading a book

Friend

Dog inside the fence

You're a boy and not a girl

But still my best friend

Smoke ring

Beautiful red cloud

Graces early morning sky

An astral smoke ring

Walking in Bartlesville

Danger!

Freaking dangerous 

Adams and Johnstone crossing 

Almost hit again

What they must think

Leaves

Autumn leaves falling

The morning air crisp, chilly

Boo Boo makes pee leaves

Colder

November morning 

It looks colder than it is 

Light jacket weather

Play

Dog behind the fence

Snarling growling barking mean

I just want to play

Litter

Smokers make litter

Cigarette packages lay

On ground around town

Gas mask

Walking through downtown

Everyone smoking coughing

I need a gas mask

Fellowship

Wednesday night church night

Meeting greeting fellowship

It is loud out there

Roundabout

Rotary mayhem

No turn signals are in use

Hello clusterf#*&

Night Night

Discarded kazoo

In the Walmart parking lot

Night night noisemaker

Warm

Pile of doggy poop

You are warm in my cold hand

As I scoop you up

45-75

Driving forty five

On Highway seventy five

Don't get in my way

Garbage

Oh look! Garage Sale

Way to block the sidewalk, jerk

Dazzled by garbage

Perky

Twenty four degrees

Boo Boo: perky in the cold

Barks at the mail trucks

Skyscraper

Fabu Price Tower

The only skyscraper by

My man, Frank Lloyd Wright

Foursquare

Buffalo mayor

Checking in at each statue 

Foursquare rocks my walk

Church bells

Catholic church bells

When you ring at four p.m.

I want to drink wine

Ugh

Hey roundabouter

That's a YIELD not a STOP sign

No guts, no glory

Red Light, Green Light

Red light at Johnstone

You take so long to turn green

We grow old waiting
