    Default Eastside Haiku

    A little poem in titled "Cafe Alex"


    Owner determined
    my neighborhood is yearning
    One cup to go please

    This was based on a true story coming home from a friend's house late at night:

    Car Burning Away
    on Roadside of 94
    Too Hot to Approach.

    Bathroom mirror in morning
    Face full of regret
    Hoping to get through the work day
    So tonight she can drink to forget

    Not a haiku. Ignored the 5,7,5 format.

    Tranquility gone
    Decency ebbs all around
    Should have sold years ago

    I had fun with this: you can sing almost any haiku to the tune of "Moonlight In Vermont".

    Thirty years ago
    The neighborhood was pristine
    Caution needed now
