I've been too busy revamping f/k/a to get around to new
poetry today.

Also, I'll be on the road tomorrow, but hope to be back on
schedule in a day or two.

Thanks for stopping by and please come on back.

full tummies
and empty bladders --
soon, vice-versa

After much procrastination, a collection of dagosan's
poetry from the second half of 2005 can now be found at f/k/a:
david giacalone: haiku & senryu (2005/II).

Here are two I forgot I had written:

sudden downpour
wet t-shirts
show much too much

fireworks -
one dog whimpers,
one howls

caution: Dagosan Overdose potential is rather high,
as there are more than a gross of haiku and senryu.
The foolhardy can find even more in the
(2004) and (2005/I) collections.
