You know, I think it is time to write about our favorite other Haiku Friday writers-- kind of a day of appreciation, in haiku. There really are some remarkable people who contribute, and it makes Friday just about my favorite day on the Razor. Where else can you find Jill Scoggins in Louisville, RRL in Waco, a few denizens of Minnesota, Christine in North Carolina, Megan Willome in Kerrville, Marta in New York, and some random Californians all chiming in?
You can talk about one of our regulars, or someone who only briefly appeared, or even someone you would like to see on here.
Here is mine:
I slow for Renee
Her words merit pondering
And change in the light.

THOSE MEN OF THE RAZOR
ReplyDeleteShe solo sleeps next
Silken ears but dreams poets
Sandalwood-scented,strong.
Who write and reason
Like gods of poesy,law.
Seersucker,tweed,jeans.
She lets herself swoon.
The way they treasure children!
Life-love longs to dance.
These oft razor'd men--
Take shots or paint or farm.Preach?
Chins jut clean with flaws.
I miss Lane. I felt
ReplyDeletelike he completed me. And
he said funny stuff.

While driving a truck.
IPLawGuy's tunes:

ReplyDeleteto listen to drunk guys on
meth with mom on drums.

Bob Darden writes worlds
ReplyDeleteIn a few well-chosen words
Simple, strong and true.
OSLER'S BEAUTIES
ReplyDeleteHaute couture? Haute minds
Reason forms fluid lines like
Givenchy.Or God's alps.
One keeps her heart in
A garden.One lawyerly
Cooks,babes aloft.One
Defies gravity
With thought and action tight-ropes
Slipperfeet.One is
New in so many ways
Elegant like raised eyebrows
Youngslender mind charged.
My beauties,salute
You I do. Hold your own,grief
Rage,joy,sharpened.You can.
I wait to lay my
Honor at your feet.Blackred
Roses show you rare.
Robert Darden and
ReplyDeleteOsler's dad. There's a roomful
in just two people.
A sleepy walleye,
ReplyDeleteCounting syllables tonight,
Dreaming a blue moon.
Mystery haikus,
ReplyDeletewritten by "Anonymous".
are so darn private.
Just have to ponder
who could write such golden verse
and hide behind doors.
But any haiku which
uses "sleepy walleye" is
worthy of mention.
I don't always know
ReplyDeletethe names, but the poets of
the Razor are rare--
funny, wise and weird.
My favorite part of Friday.
Thank you, Mark Osler.
