The Haberdashery of Haiku

I’m a tree today
Green on top and brown below
Coordinated clothes

Sunlight through the trees
Creates a map of the leaves
Across open ground
Canopy to eaves
All set out with birds and bees
Six nests I have found
Sat against the bark
I watch it move until dark
Shuffling around
To me in a spark
Came a thought inside the park
We must soon be bound
By dawn my shadow
Formed its place upon the map
On that ground fallow
A new home, or nest,
I now sit in nature’s lap
And forever rest

Rain and howling wind
Rip through our blings and scatter
(I)
Shutter up quickly

I rip up my books
After I’m done reading them.
The notion I hate,
Of others reading where I
Have read, leads me to destroy.
That something we shared,
That something I left behind
Creates that notion.
And I cannot abide it,
I just cannot allow it.
This feeling I’ll work
Through; I know this is not right;
It soils my soul.
Yet there’s nothing I can do,
I rip books to keep them mine.

A goldfish moment
Classic, snowballs out ‘control
Just a misplaced name

I sit next to me
Watch the cat eating my flesh
Ghosts should be active
