Kerouac Inspired Collection of The American Haiku

The Father of
the American Haiku
Is Jack Kerouac

Break the tradition
long lasting and accepted
Time to change

The Dead Child
prances
when on cilocybin

Three lines cannot describe
exactly how much
i hate people in general

My sanity is something
abstract that was lost
long before i was informed

Standing in Tiennamen Square
i hold my head high
and feel the bullet entering my skull

My leg has fallen asleep
with thirty minutes to go
I will give it the rest it needs

I wasn't alive
when he was shot
but i IMAGINE what the world felt

Eric will travel
to Europe and beyond
without getting up from his chair

It doesn't take much
to write this
Dance Puppet Dance

Lock all the doors
Board the Windows
nobody gets out alive

Tangled words escape
up into the smog
in blue black skies of death

There is no god
from what i've known
to be true in the past
