SOME WESTERN HAIKUS
by Jack Kerouac
Alone, in old
clothes, sipping wine
Beneath the moon
Morning sun -
The purple petals,
Four have fallen
Early morning gentle rain,
two big bumblebees
Humming at their work
The little worm
lowers itself from the roof
By a self shat thread
Bluejay drinking at my
saucer of milk,
Throwing his head back
Men and women
Yakking beneath
the eternal void
I went in the woods
to meditate -
It was too cold
Walking on water wasn't
Built in a day
The sound of silence
is all the instruction
You'll get
All of the above from
Book of Haikus
released 2003
