Haiku Compilation

I’m working on a new compilation of Haiku poems, written by some of the most eminent poets from British Columbia and South Korea. When I asked these poets to submit a Haiku to my project, a curious theme was strongly evident. It became crystal clear that the compilation was going to become more about the theme than the Haiku itself. Here are some examples.

Wiry hairy forest Sulphury poison wafts upward The butt of Mullin

Puckering sphincter Rumbling emanations Death comes too slowly

Roses wilt and die His stench is poison, no lie See! bird fall from sky

Lives in Summerland Sweats gets stinky in the sun Watch for Mullin’s ass

unheavenly body 1: Why look to the moon? Oily pimples craters and crack, huge and full, fat ass. unheavenly body 2: earthy outhouse feeder houseflies buzz about you; give offerings to the lower gods
