HAIKU’S By: Kenneth White
#1 I am just a kid
who keeps tugging on Christ’s robe
asking dumb questions
#2 I scribble haiku’s
on autumn leaves and share them
with the waiting winds.
#3 Sometimes I would trade
each poem for a chance to know
the right words to say.
#4 we curse each other
for skin colors and praise God
Who painted us all.
#5 Sometimes the best way
to show love for poetry
is to treat it like dirt.
#6 Somewhere there’s a mic
I caressed and kissed tonight,
echoing my name.
#7 Confidence was born
the night that sick and tired
got into a fight.
#8 If one more prophet
predicts the date of doomsday,
make him put up cash.
#9 Being a teacherÂ
means trying to school someone
who knows everything.
#10 It is possible
for someone to know the book
and not the Author.
