    Halloween commute —
    Elvis asks
    for spare change

     

    Tuesday, October 30, 2007

    morning commute —
    no need to run
    it’s the MBTA

     

    Monday, October 29, 2007

    closing the storm windows —
    the Red Sox win
    the World Series

     

    Friday, October 26, 2007

    midnight —
    the tired groan
    of a freight train

     

    Thursday, October 25, 2007

    freshly fallen leaves —
    a two-hour meeting
    I can’t avoid

    mild October day —
    a street sweeper stalls
    outside Fenway

    this one started as a sentence fragment:

    how thoughtful of the train
    to give me so much time
    to solve the master sudoku

    ...which was then distilled to something more senryu-esque:

    train running late
    I solve
    the master sudoku

    I’m still trying to decide which I like better...

    cool autumn night —
    gently covering
    the chile peppers

     

    Tuesday, October 16, 2007

    an important decision:
    “there is a season
    turn turn turn”

     

    Monday, October 15, 2007

    train running late —
    a dog treat
    in my coat pocket

     

    Friday, October 12, 2007

    warm October night —
    a 98 m.p.h. fastball

     

    Monday, October 08, 2007

    back to school —
    my daughter passes
    her pregnancy test
