Ameri-ku 三十五

-  Gyoga Chujo ([米人 - 俳句] Haiku/Senryu)

an ole maple 🍁 

     all hallowed out;

sadly it’s time for retirement ✍🏼 

bees 🐝 swarming

    busy little guys;

Subaru never been cleaner ✍🏼 

sunny day away

    at the car wash 🧽;

keep the Subaru clean 🧼 ✍🏼 

psychological warfare

    insidiously brutally cruel;

beware they are silent killers ✍🏼 

having spirit has meaning

    as one of character;

able to accomplish everything ✍🏼 

terrible thoughts 💭 

    kind you never tell anyone;

darkness descends smothering ✍🏼 

they asked the man

    do you box;

no rules fighting ✍🏼 

a gaggle of frogs

    a chorus of croaks;

hippity hoppity hip hop ✍🏼 

vintage Fifties Table 

    San Fran to Ohio;

four on game night ✍🏼 

heat of day be repressive 

    humidity adds to it;

cool the mind cool the body ✍🏼 

one who hesitated

    one who freezes;

either is exceedingly dangerous ✍🏼 

you want what you want

    enough to mislead;

every act has its consequences ✍🏼 

karate old karate new

    same stories;

nothing really changed ✍🏼 

bed-n-breakfast 

    open for business;

enjoying the company it brings ✍🏼 

pencils to draw

    pencils to shade;

drawing our own worlds ✍🏼 

war is good for

    absolutely nothing;

history tells us otherwise ✍🏼 

people as eggheads

     wanna talk;

the peacefulness of the present moment ✍🏼 

save-asses

    kiss-asses;

can’t abide either ✍🏼 

depression so deep

     it breaks the heart 💜;

the heart is durable enough to survive ✍🏼 

trees make the forest 🌳;

    a single symbolic match

destroys it all in a blink ✍🏼 

climate change is real

     been here since life began;

it will continue in spite of human existence ✍🏼 

being a black belt 🥋 

    ain’t what you think;

know you are a fledgling student ✍🏼 

societies savior

    package deliveries 🚚;

thanks to them all for their services ✍🏼 

UPS;FEDX;CHEWY;AMAZON;USPS; ONTRAC; etc

karate 🥋 evolved

    into social endeavor;

fake karate like fake news 📰 ✍🏼
