hai·ku [ˈhīˌko͞o] NOUN – a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world.
Here are some brand new haikus written by Texas Outlaw Poet, Jeff Callaway, for his newly released Henderson County Blues, now available on Amazon!
TEXAS HAIKUS by Jeff Callaway
1.
A beer bottles break
Reverberates memories
Down Tin Can Alley
2.
Inside Tyler’s thighs
Lies the rose that hides inside
The deep Pine Curtain
3.
Blackbird to Athens
With B.P. and Smokey and
Mickey’s green grenades
4.
My nostalgic dream
Like celluloid memories
Gleam the old days gone
5.
Lost in the magic
Of such an ocean as this
Sleepy dark daytrip
6.
The Texas Plate at
Ochoa’s melting in my
Mouth-watering yum
7.
The sound of breaking
Glass down the hallway nightmares
In time hidden deep
8.
Rose thighs, scarlet hair
Eyes stunning, lips fair, do I
Have a prayer? No
9.
Sounds of the past
Lie silent now, No open loud
Hurtful sounds of old
10.
Endless waves rapping
Time lapse dances tidal on
Texas proud beaches
11.
Ethereal highs
Atop Guadalupe Peak
Overlooking all
12.
Hard work, clean livin
Not dancing on the ceiling
Of Speeder Freak Lake
13.
Perusing the beers
Best selections appear at
The Come & Take It
14.
Old skipping vinyl
Spinning On The Road Again
On The Road Again
15.
Texas women are
Best but now All My Ex’s
Live In Texas too!
16.
Texas is beatest
My Henderson County Blues
Sweetest best served stoned
17.
Primitive urges
Swollen natural surging
Horny haunts of old
18.
Long gone tweaked out
Nights in Gun Barrel City
Glad those are over
19.
A lone mockingbird
Perched atop Big Rock
All mocking Eustace
20.
Texas Haikus and
Henderson County Blues seem
To go hand in hand!
