Stupid writer’s block Racking my brain for haiku All I’ve got is this
what do noses do besides snuff and smell and run mine dates a kleenex
white tissue, red schnoz one dresses up the other temporary love
a pile of lovers symbiotic circumstance not long for this world
it’s over, sniff, sniff stately proboscis now proud fluffy forgotten
living now alone a roll of toilet paper calls out, alluring
What is depth but length Looked at in another way Frames of reference
A trick of the eyes Metaphysical surprise Seems reasonable
From a small distance We are two dimensional Projections not seen
With time and 2 D There’s not a thing we can’t see We accept movies
A ribbon in time Seems like it suits us just fine We move straight ahead
Shadows give us depth Interesting inference Makes the difference
Moving behind is Just merging with the next line Never feel too full
What is depth but length Looked at in another way I’m feeling narrow
I’m glad I don’t smoke Paying to make me feel sick Disgusting habit
For years, I was bad Addicted to cigarettes Felt and smelt real sad
Sure to cause cancer Lung, bladder malignancies And COPD
When Stanton was born I did what I had to do Quit them cold turkey
Yes, liberation Fourth of July and D Day All rolled into one
The payoff is now From those cigarettes I smoked I hope I won’t croak
Do what haiku do Live your life the haiku way Be predictable
Plenty of options Spices up your life with verse Punctuality
Yes, follow the rules So does electricity Still plenty of buzz

what do noses do
besides snuff and smell and run
mine dates a kleenex
white tissue, red schnoz
one dresses up the other
temporary love
a pile of lovers
symbiotic circumstance
not long for this world
it’s over, sniff, sniff
stately proboscis now proud
fluffy forgotten
living now alone
a roll of toilet paper
calls out, alluring
What is depth but length
Looked at in another way
Frames of reference
A trick of the eyes
Metaphysical surprise
Seems reasonable
From a small distance
We are two dimensional
Projections not seen
With time and 2 D
There’s not a thing we can’t see
We accept movies
A ribbon in time
Seems like it suits us just fine
We move straight ahead
Shadows give us depth
Interesting inference
Makes the difference
Moving behind is
Just merging with the next line
Never feel too full
What is depth but length
Looked at in another way
I’m feeling narrow
I’m glad I don’t smoke
Paying to make me feel sick
Disgusting habit
For years, I was bad
Addicted to cigarettes
Felt and smelt real sad
Sure to cause cancer
Lung, bladder malignancies
And COPD
When Stanton was born
I did what I had to do
Quit them cold turkey
Yes, liberation
Fourth of July and D Day
All rolled into one
The payoff is now
From those cigarettes I smoked
I hope I won’t croak
Do what haiku do
Live your life the haiku way
Be predictable
Plenty of options
Spices up your life with verse
Punctuality
Yes, follow the rules
So does electricity
Still plenty of buzz
