Sunday Poetry Slam

 

Wow. You no sooner throw down a Haiku Challenge than the commentariat replies with verve and talent. Check this out, sheer awesomeness from Wild:

I eat the donuts

Glazed and chocolate ones too

Sometimes blueberry

Welfare music plays

Taxpayers buy them for me

Meanwhile, I snarf more

Help me Joe Biden

My welfare is running out

Feed me more donuts

Whoa, well done Wild, that's a veritable ode. Then there's Red, going free-form and evocative. Here:

Fireflies in the maple

Deep dark woods

Hot tea on the porch

Not to be outdone, Anon Mike_C offers us this gem:

Front windows rolled down.

Why, when fifty-two degrees?

Nigerian Uber

Not shabby, eh? And Paul gets down to it, in homage to Red's inimitable verse:

Chaos sown every day

Are you not entertained

Have a donut

What can I say.  Sorry, Kerouac, we got you beat. But who am I to judge, this one's for LL and perhaps it'll resonate with you too:

 

A sharp bayonet

Dark prints in the forest snow

Moonlight gleams on ice

Keep 'em coming.

Your Old Friend,

LSP
