A Bit of Silliness~Richard Brautigan and Me

Salad Haiku

"A piece of lettuce

fell

out of the salad bowl:

so what?"

Richard Brautigan 

(as remembered by me)

Brain Salad

Okay, okay...so the poem is not just right,

 but I think Brautigan would forgive me. 

It's been 50 years 

since I read and laughed out loud 

at the silliness of his poem. 

Waiting to Fall out with a Smile

I've had this Haiku 

tucked inside my brain for 50 years

waiting to fall out

and make me smile.

Memory Salad Shaken Loose

When I studied the photo of 

a piece of lettuce stuck to the side 

of the salad spinner 

sent by Lee

it shook loose the memory--

a bit wonky but still smile worthy.

Haiku Ambulance

(the real Haiku)

"A piece of green pepper

fell

off the wooden salad bowl:

so what?"

Richard Brautigan

A Piece of Memory Fell

"A piece of memory

fell

out of my brain

it was not quite right:

so what?"

Susan J Meyerott

with apologies to Richard Brautigan

and no apologies to you!

Wishing you a bit of silliness

to fall out of your own memory

to brighten your day!
