Storm Haiku

here's a haiku i wrote for poetry class in about 1971:

the great storm rages
battering the mighty trees
an insect falls...

(the ellipsis serves as the final syllable for you purists)

Occupied

i doggedly resist
while trying to consist
of something which should
persist.
i try to personify
the movement known as Occupy
just let me have that last French fry
afore i cease and desist.
occupy, shmockipy, pumpkin pie. what the hell, i already live here.

Frizz

Frizz

he left in a tizzy

his head was all dizzy
his hair was all frizzy
but iz he or izn't he?
