Haiku Slam

Made the mistake of bringing actual haikus on nature to a Haiku slam. The 3 I read were.

The birds sing in
The coming spring, waiting
For friends to arrive (loss)

Black flies in all
of their splendor biting,
Feeding, tis the season (win)

Red buds, green buds
Birds returning to branches
Welcome to Spring (loss)

Wish I had 3 out of 5.

Some other poems I wrote for Haiku Slam, next time I will go more for silly.

Bird shape through cloud
Times of migration north
Time of the long day

Mornings of wonder
Kitties bring fitful sleep,
The wonders of working.

Creators, artists
Sharing their joys, their tears
Their beautiful works

Remember to pause
Remember to think
Remember rest

New life
Awakens from the holes
Scared of the cold

Fucking tired
Needing to write poems
Time to slam

Dominion with
Lanna, time for laughs
Time for games

Day of renewal
Spring beginning
Sins forgiven, Peace.

Opening Day
Time to believe again
Even for Cubs fans

March Madness
Time for gamblers
And pools

Marshall stacked
Walls of sound
Take it to 11

Spinal Tap
Musicians being silly, playing
Having absurd fun

Mornings up slow
Letting the day drift in
One sip at a time

Looking forward to it again next time.

Poetry slam tonight was epic. Great job by everyone. Congratulations to Kayla, Nate, Wil, Lulu and Heidi. Poetry makes me happy.

Edmund
