A.M. Haiku

Early morning haze
Brightened by a Summer's sun
Rolls me from my bed

-- E. F. Winerock, 7-21-02

Brook Haiku

Gurgle and bubble,
Watering the verdant moss
Clinging to dark stones

-- E. F. Winerock, 7-17-02

Cave Haiku

stalagmite fingers 
claw and rip eternally
holding up mountains

-- E. F. Winerock, 7-22-02

Cabriole Haiku

mountain capricorn
pauses momentarily
and capers away

-- E. F. Winerock, 6-21-02

Hangover Haiku

Black bowtie, red eyes
Forgot said would babysit 
Ducklings this morning

-- E. F. Winerock, 6-24-02

Mountain Haiku

valleys are shortcuts,
but there's always another
mountain up ahead

-- E. F. Winerock, 6-20-02

Need a Light Haiku

Got dressed in the dark.
At work, realized underwear 
Shows through white skirt. F--k!

-- E. F. Winerock, 6-27-02

Oops! Haiku

staying up too late
to write poetry annoys
boyfriends with headaches

-- E. F. Winerock, 6-25-02

Prandial Haiku

A strange rumbling
And dull ache in the belly.
It must be lunchtime!

-- E. F. Winerock, 8-1-02

Squirrel Haiku

Cuteness is a foil
For would-be cookie-snatchers,
Evil incarnate.

-- E. F. Winerock, 7-29-02

Stream Haiku

Rippling white water
Coursing through my veins, calls to
Half-remembered woods

-- E. F. Winerock, 6-19-02

Sunset Haiku

Highlighting a cloud
The sun sinks into the sea 
Apollo's farewell

-- E. F. Winerock, 7-12-02

Tiger Haiku

meow, purr, purr, growl
sometimes, endangered species 
are just big kittens

-- E. F. Winerock, 7-23-02

Work Haiku

Co-workers rush by
Computers beep, hum, and click
Don't make poems, work!

-- E. F. Winerock, 6-13-02

Work 2 Haiku

I stare at the screen
transfixed by blinking dots, my
breakfast forgotten

-- E. F. Winerock, 6-26-02

Zoo Haiku

opening mouth wide
the large hippopotamus 
shows off his molars

-- E. F. Winerock, 6-18-02
