March 1
Haiku not written
Quickly fill in March the First
With crappy filler

March 2
Strawberry jam moon
Fuzzy black encrusted mold
What did I just eat?

March 3
Cicada flies in
And lands on back seat, screaming.
We explode from car.

March 4
Mayfly bumbles in
Bouncing off the spackled walls
Retarded insect

March 5
Bugs are everywhere
In the sky and in the air
Somebody stop them

March 6
Breath fast, hand to chest
Rubber roach on bathroom floor
My son's bestest toy

March 7
I sit in zazen
Waiting for phone call from work
While bee buzzes 'round

March 8
Yuck, my skin itches
Too much talk of creepy bugs
Concentrate on now

March 9
Thoughts of last snow gone
Green vines creep out of the dirt
Birds shine and sun sings

March 10
Dell server support
Platinum costs major bucks
Sucks big donkey balls

March 11
Thick soup morning fog
Red headlights and jolting stops
We are in a cloud

March 12
Overhead rumble
Is it a plane in the sky?
Or Armageddon

March 13
Buzz slap robe zazen
Stagger brush shower dry off
Coffee e-mail drive

March 14
Come to Taco Bell
And inhale that taco smell,
Then say, "What the hell?"

March 15
Faded umbrella
Crisp coral underwater
Licking salt off lips

March 16
My eardrums thump while
Flat top dykes laugh and dance through
Smoky rainbow air

March 17
Now, ordering booze
While miming using a mug
Seems really stupid

March 18
A hailstorm warning
We march the plants indoors, then
March them out again

March 19
Cancer took the man
The self, the I, the loved one
And now what is he?

March 20
My first sangha, I
now know where liberals in
Texas go to hide

March 21
Searching the net for
Buddhist porn is a road best
Not taken lightly

March 22
Full of surprises,
Tao made me pick poo from my
Zen garden this morn

March 23
Frosty morning hunt
Sugar buzz and chocolate smiles
Confetti egg fights

March 24
Slake its thirst with ink.
The priest-beast hungers; feed it
The next spring haiku

March 25
Vendors prostrate low
To bank executives who
Flash their sharpened smiles

March 26
Man, I want to bite
Pencils clean in two with my
Dark, coffee stained teeth

March 27
Going seventy
Traffic all around the car
Steering wheel rattles

March 28
A dreary cold sky
Misty morning goose pimples
The weatherman's wrong

March 29
In the mall, he laughs,
Jumps, and runs, and I see my
Mother in my son

March 30
While I told of old
Conquests, my son devoured
A whole hamburger

March 31
Two fires we keep
The piñon wood and mesquite
To keep warm and eat
Okay, I am supposed to be participating in *Iscariot-Priest's Spring Haikuthon '08. I have been doing so in a half-assed manner. I guess it is time to put my whole ass into it?

PS - WOW. The whole month is done. That was incredibly enjoyable. I'm gonna miss doing a haiku a day. Or, rather, trying to do a haiku a day. And failing. But catching up. It was really cathartic. :)

I've enjoyed reading your haiku, I spent quite a lot of my time smiling, particularly the 6th as I did virtually the same thing to my mother when I was little with a plastic spider :) The tenth made me snort tea out of my nose...
