Must have been drinking!

A poem for Opening Day in Cleveland
Tribe opening day
A new season commences
Fans already freak
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I get it. My Dad saw the Indians play at League Park, Cleveland Municipal Stadium, and Jacobs Field. My Great Grandfather was an Indians fan, the kind that wore a suit, tie, and straw hat to the ballpark. He probably smoked a cigar, too.
What I am trying to say is that I love the Indians and I understand the emotion. It is a family tradition I an handing down to my boys.
But come on, people. The season is long. April to October is a long, long road.
An Easter haiku
Sing Alleluia!
Jesus Christ rose on Easter
He has redeemed us!
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Not the greatest art inspired by our Lord’s resurrection but the parable tells us to use our talents to the best of our abilities.
Holy Saturday haiku
Holy Saturday
Forty days of Lent have passed
Easter Sunday, come!
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
One more day.
A haiku for you
I wrote a haiku.
A short poem just for you.
I hope you like it.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
In this case it is for you plural.
A haiku about ballpark renovations
Just saw a picture
Progressive Field got updates.
Work in progress, right?
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
I want to see the updates in person.
A fool’s haiku
Oh! So many fools.
Fooling others is such fun.
I’m not fooling, folks.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
This poem is dedicated to Lisa B., who reminded me it is National Poetry Month. I don’t think she is a fool. I am a fool because I will try to write a poem every day this month.
Poem for a cold Cleveland commute
Poem for a Cold Cleveland Commute
Salt-stained walls knock down the sound
Friction fails, steel slides and spins around
Blue sky sun blinds on dirty glass
Tailpipes belch smoke like a dragon’s ass
Four lanes, three lanes, two lanes, one.
We’re all stuck in a cold, cold, cold, Cleveland commute.
Angry folk on Twitter
I truly wonder
Are angry folk on twitter
that way in real life? #haiku
