Six Little Fictions

Mar 28

sky and birds and bells
bellowing morning fiction
to my eager ears
 
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
 
About a plum tree
there is nothing of fiction—
every fruit is true.
 
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
 
The Tuesday market
is filled with fiction sellers—
their words shine and dance.
 
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
 
I paid eight pesos
for what I thought was fiction,
but was solid truth.
 
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
 
seven hundred schools—
fiction their curriculum
truth in short supply
 
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
 
A heroic priest—
is this some sort of fiction?
Do not jest with me!

    Bellowing morning fiction is so picturesque, and fictive!

    Interesting and entertaining set of haiku. My favourite line “bellowing morning fiction” I have those “bellowing” critters at my cabin in the morning 🙂 Thanks.
