Martin Luther King

~ Martin Luther King Day Haiku ~

If only they hadn’t
shot Martin down, you think things
would be different?

Modern haiku

Thunderstorm from above

Seen from the airplane
This gigantic thunderstorm …
Quite enlightening.

Memphis cat haiku

Memphis cat: Terance
Terence
Memphis cat: Withnail
Withnail

Houseful of kittens
Reminds me how my own home
Somehow lacks something.

Memphis haiku

Martin Luther King

Such humidity!
I think I know why folks here
Walk and talk slowly.

Reverend Al Green
Stirring both body and soul
Giving us courage.

We ain’t north, north, north.
So why’s it a good idea
To go to Wild Bill’s?

If only they hadn’t
Shot Martin down, you think things
Would be different?
