Three Fantasy Haiku | Denny E. Marshall
alternative world
meet current secretary
of state flower
star drops rope ladder
into wormhole
lost climb out
make wish, Genie said
i said I wish you showed up
twenty years sooner
humorous poems
Nine Odd Haiku | Denny E. Marshall
knew had chance
name of new zine
rejection
don’t like things
that spin
removed from earth
timber area
internet usage triples
it’s login season
super computer
lightning fast and powerful
cape could be better
train station nary
locomotives on steel tracks
never seem to move
new pro football team
doubt they go to super bowl
they pick the name punts
strike long metal blade
on the thick stone prison wall
penn stronger than sword
university
offers three hundred degrees
must be an oven
the strict judge gave him
punishment of death sentence
ask, commas allowed?
History Lesson | Stan Morrison
mason dixon lewis and clark
went exploring until it got dark
stumbled into the indian ocean
celebrated there with great emotion
many say the french-russian revolution
can be considered as the final solution
never mind what makes good sense
based on the facts and the evidence
make up anything and write a book
everyone’ll trust you if you’re a crook
Vegetable Matters | Stan Morrison
onions make me cry
carrots make me laugh
parsnips love taking sides
while celery stands alone
potatoes are so appealing
and tomatoes kinda seedy
turnips turn up their noses
but peas remain undecided
luckily there is broccoli
with cauliflower so pale
parsnips are playing squash
as rutabagas are rooting on
Homage to Audrey Geisel | Stan Morrison
I think its quite imposs-terous
Yes, it’s totally hippo-posterous
To take your pet rhinosaurus
Riding in a flying saucer-ous
It’s like you’re flying in a rocket
And suddenly losing as sprocket
Then finding one in your pocket
I’d like to keep this whole thing real
Let’s take a ride in the Seuss-mobile
Six Haiku | Denny E. Marshall
locked in your wife’s car
evil in-dash computer
seeks revenge and death
in ear
not tiny hearing aid
new smart phone
large cell phone study
find brain damage caused by tons
of useless minutes
this generation
when they give teacher apple
gift is expensive
four seasons
named
again the fall guy
superman stuck
worthy foe
superglue

Believe It or Not | Stan Morrison
there’s no hill in hillsboro
and no gold in goldsboro
crocodiles actually do shed tears
as proven in a court of their peers
clocks don’t really say the time
they stay quiet like a sorta mime
elephants have been known to forget
waterproof raincoats always get wet
no wonder there’s so much confusion
even a mirage can turn into an illusion
