#fall

Autumn courtyard---
as leaves fall
algae grows

#bad

Saturday night---
the comedy is so bad
I write a haiku

#moon

the recession---
it's time
to colonize the moon

#blue

blue sky---
the seagulls are busy
feeding

#smell

clear October night---
the smell
of cinnamon

#squirrel

warm Autumn day---
a squirrel wants to know
what I am reading

#moon

very dry night---
a half moon
hardly moving

#sunrise

sunrise---
a nun's car
broke down

#bad

bad day ends---
the barmaid says
she missed me

#work

the recession---
cheaper to drive to work
but work harder to find

#cigar

cigar bar---
customer complains
draft from open window

#blue

blue sky---
no liquidity
at the banks

#sale

more economic woes---
Champaign
on sale

#seagulls

October dawn---
seagulls wait
for the fish boats
