Yellow Belt
Just the beginning, Gokyu.
Haiku flow from mouthand spin, block, strangle, joint-lock,
and grow to the sun--
whose light moves from east
to west and never backward.
Even the smallest
tree follows yellow
waves of light from uncle sun.
Grow green haiku Gokyu.

no carbon footprintcomes destroying garden house
without sandaled feet.

like conservationists, not
conservatives, do:

from the rite and not the right.

Please and Sankyu.
Now we have masteredgreen and yellow, but subtract
the two and get blue.
Sky covers earth still
with its azure afghan/quilt.
Clouds are just nonsense.
The nurples of the
elders have been twisted to
a distinct purple.

in haiku we read.

Just do it, Nikyu.
The grapes in the bowlare slowly losing pigment
as they bear the start
of fermentation.
So sweetly bitter, but still
intoxicating
enough to drown all
who take the flask to their mouth
and paint the town brown.
