Haiku Happenings #1 (6/2/20): Jules’ solo #renga for my current #haikai challenge!
Past, Present, Futures? (solo renga series)
how far to travel
to help friends in need? to see
robin’s egg blue sky?
clean the dirty window there?
or keep ’em covered; no glare…
to reflect a ‘tell’
to spill the beans on cards held?
big black dog smokes; chokes?
don’t clean the dirty window
don’t want no one to be seen
the news never tells
the whole of both sides; we hide
behind others’ words
dirty window could be good
blocks the view of the vice squad
sepia photos
hold the past in deep brown tones
was it safer then?
watch that window could get broke
when they raid this friendly place
don’t whine too loud now
this song lacks a chorus, man
jazz don’t need foolin’
city window, or country
behind any, are we safe
robin’s egg blue walls
no photo glass to reflect
the cards that we draw…
