flaccid rigid heart
rasping harmonious bland
rude burials plead

Clouds bring darkness
To a cold day of sadness
Happiness eludes

sightless echo scolds
shakily, piously, chime
stampedes, lean arid

Ode to the Beat Writers (haiku)                                                                           5.21.10
                                                                                                         by David Ehrgott



And the beat goes on
The keyboard is holy
And the beat goes on




Am Sent.                     Ode to Glare



I'm gonna hide my eyes from the sun with shades today if, that's okay.

joylessly howling
fools exhilarate, gloating
smiling silver crag

A star in  water
Washed upon the sunny shore;
Once wet, became dry.

proud intimate cask
singing halfhearted green masks
screaming stale creamy

acid chimera
captures landlord rumbling pikes
frowning fable eats
