why celebrate?

holiday season:
the reason or excuse for
jollification?

consider the lobster

as life boils away,
a brilliant color remains:
the red carapace

either it works or it doesn't

this haiku's problem:
how many sylla-dang-bles
in the word tmesis?

urban park

a square patch of green
floating in the city's midst--
a sylvan island

word of the day*

returning to work
a triptophan hangover
lassitude lingers

* -we'll see how long this lasts
