LATE NIGHT HAIKU
(BEFORE GOING HOME)
–
Late night working shift,
If you allow it, minds drift…
Waiting my relief!
–
Dry and scratchy throats,
Why can’t it just stay colder?
“Yo-yo” seasoning!
–
Track work in N scale,
Small and very exacting…
Magnifying glass!!!
–
Nasty tasting rind,
Using teeth to peel oranges…
Forgot to wash off!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
TEETERING ON THE BRINK
(A haiku attempt)
–
See-saw freeze and thaw,
Temperature’s near the brink…
An ice-skating rink?
–
Salt and sanding when’?
Watching for ice-forming signs…
Balance delicate!
–
State “D.O.T. trucks
Condition monitoring…
Courageous yellow.**

–Jonathan Caswell
** NOTE–In the author’s state, The State D.O.T. trucks and equipment ae painted yellow with blue trim.
HONKIE HAIKU
(i’S A WHITE FOLK!)
–
His poor heart is crushed
She doesn’t say much when rushed….
His chances are mush!
–J.E.C. (Author initials to separate haiku)

“SLINGING SLANG”
–
Hispanic…gringo,
Nipponese…round eyes,
On the streets…HEY, YOU!
