how delightful–
my damp, sweaty
travel robe
in the beach breeze
my travels forgotten…
evening cool
full tummies
empty bladders
. . . not for long

little snail, no different
asleep
awake
first melon of the season
grasped…
sleeping child
curling to sleep–
in the mosquito-netted window
a sickle moon
puckish child
blows out 5 candles
boomer dad beams, yawns

Hey, Fred, the client, not ROI, is king, when setting fees.
Congrats to Prof. B. But, stay humble: page hits ain’t “visitors”.
(update) btw: a quarter-million served (#12); thanks humans and robots!

breathing
and linking:
the weblogger
. . .
The Esq end of haikuEsq is finding it very difficult to e-post without o-pining. Having sworn off lengthy commentary and crusading, but pining to keep and create links in the weblog world, your Editor has mediated a solution between his many conflicting persona: One-Breath Punditry & Pointers.
Haiku are one-breath poems. I will not demean haiku by trying to writing short comments and links in haiku form. But, I will attempt to make my points and pointers in 17 syllables or less — quite a challenge for a guy f/k/a prolixEsq.
. . . one-breath pointers . . .
Cheers to Walter and Jim at Point of Law. It’s pointed, but legal.

just dusk
the hush yields
to crickets
the lake laps
all night the same
quiet thoughts
comparing aches
before the show –
senior organ recital
