    the haiku blog of paul david mena

    Saturday, June 28, 2008

    haikupoet.com — the blog has run its course. For now I will continue to keep it available as an archive, but all future Extra Special Bitter ramblings, haiku and otherwise, will be posted at http://extraspecialbitter.blogspot.com/. As always, thank you for shopping...

    longest day —
    the sign in big black letters reads:
    LOST CAT

    full moon —
    my granddaughter touches
    my silver hair

    crowded train —
    her snake tattoo
    scowls at me

     

    Thursday, June 12, 2008

    train running late
    I almost cheat
    at solitaire

     

    Tuesday, June 10, 2008

    waiting for the train
    wilted peonies
    in a wine bottle

    hot summer night —
    the dog’s breath
    against my leg

     

    Wednesday, June 04, 2008

    summer drizzle —
    sighing over old photographs
    again

     

    Tuesday, June 03, 2008

    writer’s block —
    the summer’s first
    mosquito bite

    June —
    the dog corners a snake
    in the backyard
