Rensaku Barbecue
Written on paper
Translated to internet
These words meet eyeballs
Pond of Saint Basho
Frog leaps in ancient splash sound
Water writes ripples
Poet writing verse
Motioning to haiku muse
I have nothing
Distinct aroma
Someone cooking barbecue
Distracting poet
Neighbors family
Arriving from far away
Invading poem
Muse tweaks poet's nose
Neighbor kids politely knock
Come share food with us
Positive response
Starving artist needs to eat
I'll be right over
Poet can't resist
Laughter from neighboring yard
Gurgle in belly
Bring paper journal
Explain haiku to novice
Summer afternoon
Torn between two sides
Happy I can have them both
Corn on cob and beans
My muse must have been hungry
I stuff my face with burgers
