City Haiku

Early fall harvest,
buses overflowing with
blossoming students. 

 

City Haiku

September evening,
Halloween store stays open
for early haunting.

City Haiku

Allston Christmas held
outside of Allston yields means
of non-survival.

City Haiku

Continuously
overcast leading up to
today's purging rains.

 

City Haiku

 
Heat wave takes a break. 
Light breeze travels through air with
faraway music. 

City Haiku

A swamp in the air.
Traffic slowly pushes through
early morning haze. 

City Haiku

Count padlocks without
physical prisons, wonder
how many still free. 

City Haiku

MAGAmerica
hates all abortions unless
they're made of metal. 

City Haiku

Too hot to stay out
on city corners, homeless 
will stay...somewhere else.

City Haiku

Old woman on bus
keeps bouncing head to rhythm
of cell phone's ringtone.

City Haiku from Yesterday

Kenmore Square doorways,
cherry blossom welcome mats
for homebound workers.  

City Haiku

Marathon morning!
A moment of calm before
we are all trampled. 

 

Pre-Protest City Haiku

 
Helicopter sends
droning thunderclaps while we
wait for the blitzkrieg. 

City Haiku

 
Pedestrians, snow,
both fighting for sidewalk space,
no clear winner yet. 

 

City Haiku

The very last walk
you'll ever take in your life
will not be announced. 

City Haiku

 
Walk back from the storm,
trail blown by furious winds,
no direct way home. 

 

The City Haiku I Should Have Posted Last Friday

A day of defeat,
city sends you fireflies
to guide your way home.

City Haiku

Overpass padlocks
making sure their love never
gets out of Boston. 

City Haiku

A fresh snow blanket
reminds us Fimbulwinter
has remained with us. 

City Haiku

 
On Monday morning
sidewalk lays out red carpet
for your arrival.
