welcome to the haikutimes
Issue #74, Night-Ku, October 17, 2003, Boulder, Colorado. Haiku Staff writers Patrick Lynn, Sanjay Rajan, Susan Peterson and Jonathan Machen bring you breaking news from a neighborhood in north Boulder during a mild October evening.
strange eery feeling
a house remade victorian
goddess in the yard
starlit autumn walk
the air suddenly turns warm
and then cool again
walking
an unexpected patch of warmth
then autumn cool again
little
drunk
so what
life's
like
that
seen from the street
a quiet, carefully arranged den
my home before the divorce
neighbor's tv
still on, i peek into
their lives
emotional fall night
a red light blinks on the dash
of the convertible
thinking of sex
all the time
hey! don't we all
a solid fire hydrant
waits out the night
dead leaves scattered around it
city crickets sound
just like country crickets
only there's less of them
multitude of stars
one must look up to see them
avoiding distractions
city candidates'
streetsigns illuminated
in halogen glow
still on
neighbor's nightlamp
oh! so tacky
high school kid
comes home late in an old car
sits in the darkness
awake
in a sleeping neighborhood
cars ticking as they cool
glowing from the street
a house witout art or curtains
just a 30" tv
mild october night
parents retrieve their children
from the rec center
evening walk
dog in tow
first haiku in long time
haiku voyeur
looks for poetic action
through evening windows
frenzy to leave
boulder rec center
traffic light turns green
paying attention
the rhythmic sound of crickets
lulls me back to sleep
orange pumpkin lights
ghosts hanging from porch rails
suburban treat
