-1/9/04 -Jack Kerouac - Western Haikus - (Book of Haikus)

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
