Sweet sweet Crown Royal
Your Golden beauty soothes me
Pour me another.

Passing drunken bars
Cold air sober spinning fast
Blackness underneath
The clarity of the chill
The energy of the ride

Right-of-way stolen
Panic stop to miss the car

that was, apparently an epithet, which was stared out. but it was germaine and full of meaning and rhetorical necessity. blast and drat!

A lot of time, I find that the best haiku come when I am specifically as sober and clear as can be. It is the clarity of mind that poetry chooses to emerge from sometimes.
Tonight's haiku:
Coal-dust night so still
The moon just a ghost above
Cold air teases skin

hmmm...i feel that way sometimes when i'm writing songs. like i have to find a way of arranging words that says what i want to say, says in an interesting way, hopefully uses some vivid imagery, while sounding musical with or without music to it. other poetry i need sobriety to write and formulate the way it'll look on the page.
in the context of the haiku on this page however...maybe i should have been more specific. i suck at haiku in any state, but drunk, it would be funnier. when drunk, i often put a lot more raw emotion into other forms of writing, too...but it has to be refined sober.
i think it was oscar wilde who said that all good writing is either written drunk and edited sober or vice versa. not totally true...but look at hemingway, faulkner, et al.

No sleep comes as yet
Long day, long year, still grinding
No sleep before death
