I wanted to write a few haiku but didn’t have anything in mind so, using the Creative Random Word Generator, I got these three words: fare, mud, and rash, and wrote these three haiku:
without any coins
I can’t ride the bus today:
exact fare only
underfoot we crush
blades of grass into the mud
building a shortcut
suddenly, red welts
in patches across her skin
the rash, a warning
Photos from Flickr by me (bus stop & puddle) and Tim Sheerman-Chase (infected by the alien virus). Like these? Check out my Haiku Miscellany and Coffee Haiku books.
