TOOK THE KID TO SCHOOL

 

Sitting in the car

I’m listening to him brag

about poetry

 

and  I am qite

reflective and slightly ill

and biding my time

 

I’m nursing a beer

and absorbing all the sounds

that linger in air

 

but for subtle grace

I retain my solitude

Even hid the crowd

 

Every syllable

takes on grand importanc

as the word counts rise

 

Experimental,

created in haiku form

for display of skill

 

Catch my second wind

just about 30 seconds

before my reading

 

and I were dead on

and I took the kid to school

despite malady.

 

Make a great headline

in poetry newspapers

if they existed.

I Can Guess

It took a lot of counting on fingers - I read it the first time and did not get haiku. Glad you told us. All those syllables - marvelous venture. Nursing a beer - haven't heard that phrase in a while. Off to find one to nurse :D - slc
