Unexpected joy.
Today I rode in a car

Today's Iliad haiku:

Today's Iliad haiku:

Why do men behave

badly? They are made in the

image of the gods.

Why, after twenty-

still get first-day nerves?

Today's Iliad haiku:

badly, to get themselves to
couples counseling.

Today's climate change haiku:

Evidently the
Arctic mosquito is now
utterly thriving.

Buckwheat groats taste good,
but they _sound_ like foodstuffs of
polygamous cults.
