How much should you say
Don’t think of an elephant
Before anyone
Had thought to think it
Until others suspect that
You’re the elephant

NaPoWriMo 8
Northern Virginia
Will always be defined by
Teslas with stickers
That say they bought it
Before they knew the evil
And yet cannot sell

NaPoWriMo 7
Ten point plan two weeks
Taco Tuesday once again
What is old is new
Thanks for tuning in
Next episode of the war
So predictable

NaPoWriMo 6
Christ is arisen
The pastor is still napping
Easter hangover
Resurrection takes
A lot out of you—just ask
Anyone who wakes

NaPoWriMo 5
Wonder why absent
Ones not with us at the tomb
As it stands empty
Until the rain pours
And what once was only bud
Now suddenly green
-
NaPoWriMo 4
Easter—grocery
Store is now completely out
Of asparagus
Brussels sprouts I like
Roasted with some olive oil
Tiny cabbages

Yet Another Ice Cream Truck Haiku Sequence
Step out the front door
ice cream truck there already
think I know what’s next
walk right past the truck
bit of a surprise I guess
time for the playground
glad we showed restraint
how much ice cream is too much?
oh look here it comes
inevitable
now it’s only a question—
nope it’s chocolate
child grows a goatee
after only a few bites
this calls for a wipe
somehow the slides seem faster
