Is haiku Zen?
nope
Is Zen haiku?
nope
Is the dog a dog?
yep
~
the sunrise makes my pallet
the trees are my brush
mind the painter!
~
I cannot stop
for you right now
a dove calls
~
outside my window
a slice of light penetrates
the fence
~
Bud buddha says:
“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger”
so there
~
you call the dogs
I sit
you ask me to move
I stay
you want something
I fetch
you say come
I go
…bitching!
~
old dog licks young dog
old dog wants treat
old dog pants & paces
old dog laps water noisily
old dog has to pee often
just old dog chores
before death
~
writing haiku is like
writing on water
writing haiku is like
writing air poetry
writing haiku is like
writing
