REDNECK HAIKU

BEAUTY

Naked in repose
Silvery silhouette girls
Adorn my mudflaps

REMORSE

A painful sadness
Can't fit big screen TV through
Double-wide's front door

DEPRIVED

In WalMart toy aisle
Wailing boy wants wrestling doll
Mama whups his ass

BLAZE

Distant siren screams
Dumb-ass Verne's been playing with
Gasoline again

A NEW MOON

Flashlights pierce darkness
No nightcrawlers to be found
Guess we'll gig some frogs

EXUBERANCE

Joyous, playful, bright
Trailer park girl rolls in puddle
Of old motor oil

ALONE

Seeking solitude
Carl's ex-wife Tammy files for
Restraining order

OFFERINGS

Tonight we hunger
Grandma sent grocery money
To Jimmy Swaggert

DRAMA

Set the VCR
Dukes of Hazzard Marathon
at 9 O'Clock

IMPOUNDED

Sixty-five dollars
And cyclone fence keeps me from
My El Camino

GATHERING

In early morning mist
Mama searches Circle K for
Moon Pies and Red Man

HURRICANE

Hurricane rages
Front porch collapses
18 dogs...die
