Haiku 885, 886, 887, 888

From the collection The Immmediate and No Sooner, 2021.

Haiku 885
11/13/20

twentieth teapot
the oceans of strong black tea
you do drink each day

Haiku 886
11/13/20

chalky quarter moon
scrawls out white shadowy clouds
on night’s clean blackboard

Haiku 887
11/13/20

after a bottle
before a bucket or tub –
when should I finish?

Haiku 888
11/13/20

the so-practiced spy
turned abrupt meddler unmasked
with that one misstep

  1. I especially love the chalkboard conceit. The first poem makes me feel better about my tea drinking habit as I definitely don’t make as many as twenty pots or even mugs of tea per day.

    • I am smiling as I read this. I imagine one of your people right now with a big pink teapot of tea with her tiny fingers grasped around a striped mug. (No idea why I had so much detail in this vision, I just did!)
