 and shifts again.

    Love it!

    lime quarter

    an icecube collapses

    over jazz

    I hear the movement of ice in this tiny poem more clearly than I do any tintinnabulating bells elsewhere! Well done.

    Alan! I am very happy to see your "lime quarter" haiku again. You forgot one publication credit for it however!

    And so timely as I'm putting my collection together due out in Spring 2011.
    Big thanks Dylan.

    too sore to sleep
    I slouch at the bar
    nursing a Coke

    three seats away
    a man with feverish eyes
    drenches his date
    with fizzless jokes
