Jew's Real Haikus

Here are some haikus I wrote. A poetry teacher of mine suggested adapting them into a different style poem. For now at least I like them as haikus. Some fit together, but they're each a haiku. Some are stronger. Some will resonate. I'm going to push PUBLISH now.

once upon a time
will once be said about me
he once wrote haikus

boats on the water
how do they feel in the rain?
why do they remain?

it's only money
what poor people tend to say
i sometimes wonder

life is a postcard
we start out writing so big
then there is no space

only now is real
later is only a now
it just comes later

my student waitress
learned from me two years ago
now she brings me soup

truth, justice, and peace
three things let the world endure
shlosha devarim

trivia question
who's the father of free form
answer: walt whitman

hip, no longer young
you seem somewhat unhappy
you seem so human

seems so unhumble
shirtless sit ups in the park
he might be lonely

here's an irony
talented famous person
finds himself alone

saw carol miller
my old favorite dj
hospital, alone

i'm always waiting
right now i'm waiting for sleep
i'm tired of this

black sweater smirks back
as grey t-shirt nods his head
green jacket writes this

lilting jill sobule
sings"having a better day"
along with my thoughts

i feel far away
far away from a feeling
deep inside my blood

It's an icy world
and it's a beautiful place
It's a package deal

Have you seen my Alps
God will ask us all one day
All beauty is His

jews please understand

the world has only one G-d

and that G-d is ours

confidence attracts

self pity pushes away

give up, people run

take care of yourself

because if you don't do it
then no-one else does
