Haiku Friday: California


When winter seems to be lingering a little too long, my mind wanders to a warm place: California. I'm not sure why-- you would think Texas (where I lived for 10 years) would be more logical-- but that's what I think about.

So let's haiku about California today. Here, I will go first:

Brightly colored signs
Nestle by the green roadside:
Hey, look! It's Legoland!

Now it is your turn-- just use the 5/7/5 syllable formula and have some fun!

Driving from Denver, we hear the song
"Welcome to the Hotel California"
Such a lovely place

Everything is lovely
Except earthquakes.

Too many people,
In never rains in Long Beach,
Except when I went.

Excellent restaurants, but
nerds have no night life.

California has
no seasons. Nor does it have
Hay Fever Sneezin'.

I spent the night once,
my flight delayed to Hong Kong,
in San Francisco

Oh, San Francisco . . .
Philz Coffee, Haight Ashbury--
Gold sequined '80s

Dance costume from there--
Cool folks planning Burning Man,
Castro naked pride,

Murals and rebirth
In Mission District; fab art,
Hills, sun, wind, rain, sea . . .

Keep a place for me.
