Reflections on Round 3: Haiku

BLACK MOUNTAIN BEAUTY
COLD SNOW UP TO MY EYEBALLS
ISOLATED LIFE

MUDDY AND STEEP SLOPES
HIGH FASHION- CHAINSAWS AND CHAPS
CUTTING AND CHIPPING

DESOLATE HOUSING
PLUMBING MALFUNCTION LEADS TO
POOP IN OUR SHOWER

BACK TO WOODLAND PARK
THE SNOW IS GONE. WE ARE HOME.
STILL CHAINSAWS AND CHAPS

KANSAS TUMBLEWEEDS.
WE MOVE AND PILE THEM ALL DAY.
I HATE TUMBLEWEEDS.

KANSAS OXYGEN
I CAN RUN FAR AND BREATHE WELL.
KANSAS: SUNSHINE, WARMTH

BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT!
BIKE RIDE TO OKLAHOMA.
ONLY SEVEN MILES...

A DRIVE TO LEADVILLE
BUT A WEEK LEFT OF THE ROUND
BEAUTY ALL AROUND

LODGEPOLE PINE TREES MUST
DIE. THE TREE GODS HAVE CHOSEN.
I STRIKE THE DEATH BLOW.

AWAKEN EARLY
RUN TILL IT HURTS. SO PUSHUPS.
WORK MUSCLES ALL DAY.
