This week's Open Mic prompt was Life and this pic:
Which prompted these haikus:
forested city
shaded Vietnam beauty
verdantly urban
possessions carried
house in a gray bag
and walking wardrobe
curbside dining
colorful plastic seating
iced coffee and more
quiet neighborhood
neatly spaced parked vehicles
and the monkeys sleep
permit granted
tree may grow within this curb
and pay property tax
CO2 from cars
feeds canopy chlorophyll
see? it all works
concrete tiling
made from ground up shells
surf on turf
graffitied boxes
in all urban centres
illegible
utility poles
with no crooks or bends
painted to fit in
while he walks alone
and passes red and yellow
what does he think?
a license plate
or someone’s Line ID
or both
communism red
and red for stop and danger
mixed messages
if sports greats sponsor
sports shoes, who’ll sponsor
homeless walking shoes
there’s so much shade
sunny days create bumper crops
net exporter
no power lines here
arborist wizardry
the juice is in the roots
repeating pattern
every nth step there must be
a tripping hazard
in this season, green
in the next, also green
never gets boring
