AnimalsAnimals, and the Things that Go on Them and Around Them   
Long exposure makes a ghost  
Of his hand on the halter.  A windbreak blows in off center,  Where my wife curls  Her fingers around the hem of  
Her apron and sneers  At the one who holds  
His smile for the camera.  “Our stableboy makes  Deals with the devil,”  She says. When a storm of crows  
Intrudes on the foreground   
I can’t say else what I can’t remember. Animals

These people drive fast  Down their own alleyways––  Nothing should keep them here,  Though even we remember the slap of concrete,  Newly laid. Our Garnet Bracelet

The Boy with All the SomethingThe Boy with All the Somethings, and His Story from the Underground   
Ian Barnett had a back as straight as the ladder outside his bedroom window. The same could not be said of the other children, like Raggedy Ann McGrew, the girl with the windswept knees. He thought sometimes he could hear her bones growing the wrong way, creaking, close to breaking, like tree branches twisted in a gale. Of course, Ian had never heard a gale, or seen one. The only trees he knew grew upside down from the ceiling, and they withered and grayed as time passed.   
Years later Ian would remember terms like "hydroponic technology" and "reclaime The Boy with All the Something

A Conversation Between Two of My Housemates

Mr. Dilger, watching Mr. Brown take a pizza out of the oven: Wow, that looks delicious.
Mr. Brown: That's because it is.
Mr. Dilger: ...
Mr. Brown: ...
Mr. Dilger: ...
Mr. Brown: ...
Mr. Dilger: I'm hungry.

I was also hungry. And, sadly, I didn't get any pizza either.

For all the haiku artists and other members like myself who have been participating in Haikuwrimo '07, i ran across an old piece i had in an even older inbox that hopefully will give us all a smile & a chuckle to help our efforts along. The following is a c/p so i hope it works:

"Haiku Error Messages"

In Japan, Sony Vaio machines have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with their own Japanese haiku poetry. Each only 17 syllables.

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

The Web site you seek
Can not be located but
Countless more exist.

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask way too much.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.

First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
So beautifully.

With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found.

The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao, until
You bring fresh toner.

Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.

Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
