my Haiku from the brick issue

 

Darkness is silent
A place of contemplation
Tranquil and peaceful


Fading into sleep
The flowers close for the night
To dream of morning


The stream gently flows
Into the peaceful valley
Then calmly drifts on

"Gangs" from the Going Green Issue of IP Print E-mail

Clive Perry couldn't decide which he disliked more: students who did not like being helped, or the teachers who treated said students as dirt. And, of course, he was in the middle of such a situation with Claire and the Stepford twin teachers. He had just gotten through with talking to the Stepfords, but none of his words were reaching past their thick, egotistical skulls. The truancy officer was only able to shut them up when he told them that he was getting Principal Atwood involved. The look on their identical faces was priceless, and would definitely be the highlight of his day.

 

Claire Austin didn't want to be helped by anyone but herself, and Officer Perry knew it. He had tried several times to help her to take pride in her school work by directing her to class, but the girl could care less. As far as he could tell, she was on cloud nine: she was dating the rather intimidating David Coen, and she had her own power of intimidation because most of the students thought she was the leader of Coen's gang.

The Brick Issue was released May 2, 2009.  The issue features a conglomeration of poetry, artwork, stories, lyrics, and a review of the Brick Coffee House Store located on D Street.  Much of the issue was inspired by the album "The Wall," a poem based on titles of songs from "The Wall" album was contributed by staff member Anthony Martinez.  The issue featured a profound collection of poems including multiple pages of Haiku by myself and my brother Ben Currier.  Cover design was by Amanda Martinez.  The issue displays work by workshop contributors who were Joe Burdick, Mark Bower, and Colin Ransom.  The Brick issue is yet another magnificent achievement of Intrepid Press.  To find where you can pick up a copy of Intrepid Press go to "where-can-i-pick-up-a-copy-of-the-zine" or if you would like to subscribe to Intrepid Press, you can do so by going to our fund-raisers page.

"Going Green" Issue Haiku Print E-mail

These Haiku were published in Issue #21 of Intrepid Press - The "Going Green" Issue

 

The roots search for peace
In the darkness of the earth
While branches seek sky

 

Field of vagrant blue
Field of petaled wonderers
Each bloom a treasure

 

Three soft and slow sounds
Words forming a melody
In this soft whisper

 

Slowly the sand grows
The desert stretches it'sarms
In greedy gath'ring
