Swine Flu Haiku

Sean Bell, Amadou
Victims (pardon me) symptoms
Of New York's swine flu.

Me and My Mamí

We are a dynamic duo
Me and my Mamí.

And we take on the world daily
With chancletas,
Correas, y compassion.

Ella es un héroe
Como supermán.
She leaps tall buildings
And all of that.

But she has no weaknesses
Ella cocina con kryptonite.

My mom is the flash;
Fast enough to be
At two places at once:
Mother and father.

It’s me and my Mamí
Against the world.
And we are writing
The illest duet.

Good Friends

To my good friends

Solitude.

Sorrow.

And silence.

Thank you

For your company,

For calling,

And for being

On time.

Excerpt 3:

When you walk by the Sun hides behind the Moon

Urging her to introduce him.

Your smile makes the Sun blush.

He gets embarrassed so he tip toes over the horizon

Stealing one last stare before setting.

You make boys of great men.

Condition of Education (Haiku)

Curious Query
Quote: “Is our children learning.”
No, no they are not.

This is a verbatim quote from George Walker (Dubya) Bush. He was commenting on the condition of public education. So sad…

Chemistry

She is of the finest shades of brown,

A caramel complexioned goddess,

Tall and slender to the eyes

But voluptuous to the touch.

Her hair curls beyond her shoulders,

Her smile, the exclamation point to what the world knows—

She is beautiful! As soon as I press my gaze upon her,

My heart double dutches,

My smile checks itself in the mirror, then postures confidently

And my entire being acknowledges and welcomes attraction.

Insecurity (Haiku)

Do not listen when
Insecurities hunger.
They would eat us all.
