down the spiral staircase
into another world-
heatwave

simple ideas dressed in consumer masks. . .

extensive repair work-
next door on top
of a heatwave

heatwave-
even next door's cat
does zombie

deceit is truth in fancy dress. . .

flying colours-
a black tail periscopes
the red hot pokers

sparse text wraiths arise. . .

red-hot weekend-
down in the valley
miles of cars
GUEST HAIKUIST

"In order to appreciate haiku, we must respect Nature and the natural surroundings as the background. Therefore, we must supply the background of a haiku scene as reasonably as possible. I think this is a very important point in haiku appreciation. The concept of the season words is, I believe, based on this very point." - Shinji Ogawa

there is no ceiling

we drew our names in the air and laughed. . .

snap crackle pop!
through a cornflake wood
into fields of toast
lays 22
for the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his gods. . .

cool for cats-
village silver surfers
mingle in shades
23
so, anyway, that was the parable. . .

bobbing. . .
in a gold ring

Nietzsche’s typewriter. . .

What a gorgeous specimen! My Own Private Book Club writes:
Friedrich Nietzsche received his writing ball in 1882. It was the newest model, the portable tall one with a colour ribbon, serial number 125, and several typescripts are known to have been written by him on this writing ball. We know that Nietzsche was also familiar with the newest Remington typewriter (model 2), but as he wanted to buy a portable typewriter, he chose to buy the Malling-Hansen writing ball, as this model was lightweight and easy to carry — one might say that it was the “laptop” of that time.

tapping my toes
on a field gate-
the skylark

dandelion parachutes-
lighter than the weight
of a summer's day

wild blue-
over the bell tower
into history

gave up trying to encourage neatness and settled in to watch. . .

por favor
says a clattering plate-
heatwave

"They call it the Chalk. Green downlands roll under the hot midsummer sun. From up here, the flocks of sheep, moving slowly, drift over the short turf like clouds on a green sky. Here and there sheepdogs speed over the grass like shooting stars." Terry Pratchett, Wee Free Men

falling
into a summer dream-
last year's leaves

the onion people are like sea anemones. . .
/
next door's cat
in the pouring rain
under rhubarb
31
he discovered that being smart made you unpopular. . .

weekend karma-
pouring rain empties
an ebbtide beach
"This is the problem: When the incidence of brain damage across society is so widespread that exhibiting intelligent behavior gets you shunned as an outcast, society is already in its final stage of collapse. You are watching it unfold." Mike Adams
