Hardly Haiku I

A hummingbird is
the dart the hummingbird hurls
at hummingbird targets.

Kittens
Motley little crew,
did the Tom give your mom
a motley little screw?

129

Strange mice follow me.
I don’t mind familiar mice.
These are very strange.

138

Pthoo in the dark, pthoo!
Who poured the chocolate milk
into the limeade?

144

Yon plastic blossom
seems to say plastic Spring is
never far away.

180

Fly, lowly fly, you
are to yourself what you will
never be to me.

193

The Deal
Weeks: seven card decks
of days shuffled by time’s swift,
dexterous fingers.

717

Axenophobic
I’m not Japanese.
No reason why I should be.
This haiku is mine.

687

Tone-deaf limb, it is
my roof you’re banging on! But,
I am in your drum.

233

Locust
Tail of rattlesnake
fly away! You’ve frightened me
out of this fine day.
