Nine Haiku
Spring:
lovers hammering together
their broken bed
—
So much work to do
I begin
by putting it off
—
Noticing everybody in the bar
has missing teeth
he leaves early
—
Next to the fire station
a burned down
house
—
Writing about my youth
now and then
a branch falls
—
After everyone
is awake
the dog quits barking
—
In the mirror
The old man I was afraid of
as a child.
—
Library sign:
We now have On the Road
in large print.
—
Sweeping snow
I watch myself
sweeping snow.
John Brandi writes: “If I’m in the right state of openness — intellect absent, the world before me as is, no hint of another to come — then poems arrive unexpectedly, as they should.” A world traveler who has long been associated with the Beat poets, Brandi is probably our country’s best known Haiku poet. These are from his collection Weeding the Cosmos, published by La Alameda Press and are reprinted by permission.
