TEXAS HAIKUS 2 by Jeff Callaway



in Texas night

lone star lovers with mad moon

romance bluebonnets





empty beer bottles

shine in hot light round here

in Texas Summer





azure sky opens

to the call of a Yellow Lotus

rain dance





my buxom Texas

lover in blue stockings

bares her soul's lone star





drunk Dallas, Texas

nights in Deep Ellum I love

burgers bars live bands





buy Lone Star beer

support local drunkenness

and Texans spirit





here in Texas town

drunk watching the news

talk of Texas casinos



howdy y'all

burlesque barbecue party tonight

ten kegs and girls





Cholla Cactus blooms pink

lavender clouds sink deep

into the Big Bend





on both sides of the Red

Indian Paintbrush and Bluebonnets

dance hand in hand





Rose Gentians in Spring

make purple love to my green

backyard in Austin, Texas





and it rained today

East Texas mushrooms in cow patties

of Texas growing





please support the Bill

medical marijuana in Texas

today





thousands of men

in prison for smoking joints

yet sleep next to killers





my Deep Ellum bliss

is when Reverend Horton Heat sings

at Trees rockabilly chicks





music capitol

Austin, Texas guitars wine

and cry a song for Stevie Ray





with all of my heart

remember the Alamo

Goliad and God





the red mountains sacrifice

their stone souls up

to a Cap Rock Canyon sky





Slender Stem Bitterweed

contrasts the cloudy deep grey

Palo Duro Canyon sky





and Texas is my home

my hearts own square acre to roam

my life, love, Texas
