Daily Haiku-Baku

Kerouac said in an interview to the Paris Review:
"Haiku is best reworked, and revised.  I know, I tried.  It has to be completely economical, no foliage and flowers and language rhythm, it has to be a simple little picture in three lines."

Art of Fiction No. 43 Jack Kerouac.1968.

Spring Two: 

Oliver, the cat, jumps at me
snarling to get my interest for his
shy and hungry friend, Smough
time to buy meow mix; (bits?).

Spring One

Up from my deathly flu,
 I returned my Facebook world,
greeted by my cat Smoug. 


Caught in that line,  Ahab battled demons by casting overboard.


 




Huck Finn
House laid like a tomb, still as death...
Civil Huck dreamed.
Freedom:
Me-yow!



Story book notions, play with your itch.
Highway boys nest, 
and break,
fences.

Huck is a perfect "sap-head",
low down, in the muck,
life like,
logic.

Six times seven equals thirty,
adds up to not.
Liquored,
fortune.
