Weather Change Haiku

Four layers of clouds
white, yellow, grey and dark blue,
Texas sky so high.



This is how I first published, but I think the new one (top) is better.
Four layers of clouds

white, yellow, grey and dark blue,

so high Texas sky.

Twitter Haiku II

Birds on a lonesome shore

for a moment of importance

tweeting messages.

Imagine II (Warming up)

I am not I
I am a dictator, a warrior, an imbecile,
a magician, a poet.

Imagine (Warming up)

Words are traces of thoughts
music the trace of souls
and books the traces of personalities.

Dream Place

Leaves rustling softly
water gurgling along my way
a warm blanket my home.

------------------
This is a first step in finding and describing that place, living on my mood at the writing time, I think there are many more and very different dream places for me.

I am reading 'Writing across cultures, A Handbook on Writing Poetry & Lyrical Prose' by Edna Kovacs right now, and 'heat haiku' and this are based on 'warming up' exercises of that book. Nice book, good exercises, appealing explanations with impressive examples and an excellent setting in the person an life of the author.

Heat Haiku

Sitting in my puddle
drops are trickling down my legs
melting in Texas' drought.

Jobsearch Jail

Steel barring my view

just some trees and sounds from far

lonely balcony.

Two Days of Rain in Texas

Pitter, patter, gurgle,

rising through thick, damp air

the smell of wet wood.

Texas State Park Haiku

Complete, utter silence
hearing no car, no people,
just one bee buzzing.

Spring Evening in Texas

Traffic sounding louder

light fading, crickets chirping

cool air caressing my skin.

Dawn Haiku

Through the fading light

the first fluttering bat passes by

fingers on rough paper.

Severe Weather Alert - Texas Haiku

Heartbeat up my throat

announce thunderstorms and hail

tornado warning.

Udo's nonsense (Haiku)

Bubbles in the air
trees smelling like butterfly milk
du Schnickelpickel.

Twitter starlets

Some childrens' ballons

fly snarling through the air

starlets on twitter.

:-)

Twitter Haiku

Tweeting messages 

for a moment of importance

birds on a lonesome shore.

Thunderstorm

Feet in warm puddles

some last drops cooling my skin

a rainbow so high.

Texas Sky Haiku

On bright blue background
orange waves with white crests sail
dark tufts underneath.

Texas Groceries 2009

Land of constant drought
just a few fresh stems of green
people searching bargains.

Texas Butterfly Haiku

Gliding graciously
wind gusts make dark wings tumble
plastic bag butterflies.

Book of Longing, Philip Glass / Leonard Cohen

Poems, pictures, music 

show Glass' and Cohen's longing:

so last century.

I had the pleasure of attending a Glass concert in the Bass Concert Hall in Austin (Feb. 22, 2009). And a pleasure it was. Then I started to think about not just what I heard, but what I had seen, too, and it had the feeling of a presentation with plastic decks. Liked musicians and singers, though.

Plastic Lives Haiku

Streets full of litter
the wind blowing bags and cups
wherever it turns.



(no. I am not depressed. )

Texas Winter

Hard land, dusty crusts,
splashing, soaking rain leaves clouds
of brown scent sprouting.
