i been searchin'
and i been seekin'
Re-Searchin'
and Re-Thinkin'
still i don't know what ta' do
'bout findin' My Haiku
shore makes me Blue

oh, i've read
and i've bled
'till i thought i was Dead
lay awake at night in bed
ponderin' what's been said
and where someone else's Haiku led
but i can't be no Re-Tred
gotta' unravel my own Thread
gotta' find Haiku in my own Head

i bought books
and took looks in crannies & crooks
places i thought Kaiku might Be
even bought an LP & a CD
but they 'twerent for me
the things i seen
the things i see
don't mean
much ta' ME

once i thought i had It
'cause i'd thought i'd read It
hadda' fit
when i found out It
what that old fella' writ
was just a bunch a' Bullshit

i traveled & i trod
down concrete & down sod
yup, there i plod
tryin' ta' git a knod
i pleaded what i needed
from a prophetic, pathetic prophet
who just might let
me get
'caught in his Haiku net
lost that bet
and yet...

i keep searchin' & seekin'
keep speakin'
still do some thinkin'
but i quit drinkin'
quit sinkin'
into the mud
figger my Haiku is a Dud

but,
yeah just never know
my Haiku just might show
tell me which way the winds gonna' blow
help me ta' grow
help me ta' Be

yup,
just might find my Haiku
just like you
'till then all i can do
is be Haiku Blue
