Autoplay

His teeth once white as popcorn, now golden as movie
buttered popcorn.

God bless ghosts, guns, Bush-Cheney and the summer
Salinas Rodeo.

The Neighborhood Watch posted warning signs: DO NOT WAKE UP
THE ZOMBIES.

You don't have to slice out his prefrontal cortex;
he's dead.

Skateboard without your helmet. Watch the red splatters
in the sunset.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Naseer Ahmed Nasir 10 February 2010

These haikus have a flavor of irony and satire and a bit different from Japanese haikus which are mostly based on nature and in which silence plays a vital role. It was an enjoyable and meaningful reading. Regards. Naseer
