Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving
Happens to be good first line
For Haiku poem

If that wasn't enough
That line was six syllables
So go fuck yourself

No No what terror
That's an awful thing to say
With no seasonal reference

Are you having trouble
With the holidays
Now that your mom is dead?

And the form of your Haikus
Is straying more and more
From the 5-7-5 form of its ancestry

Try one more old boy
For the sake of the quiet
In the autumn trees

Parade

Madman on parade
Another Christmas morning
Standing in the sand
