Jack Kerouac — American Haikus

[Stanza 1] In my medicine cabinet The winter fly Has died of old age [Stanza 2] Well here I am 2 PM What day is it [Stanza 3] The tree looks like a dog Barking at heaven [Stanza 4] Prayer beads on the holy book My knees are cold [Stanza 5] In the morning frost, The cats step slowly [Stanza 6] No telegram today, Only more leaves fell [Stanza 7] Castles of the Gandharvas Is full of aging young couples [Stanza 8] Early morning, yellow flowers Thinking about the drunkards of Mexico [Stanza 9] The national scene Late afternoon sun in those trees [Stanza 10] Nightfall Boy smashing dandelions with a stick [Stanza 11] Holding up my purring cat to the moon, I sighеd [Stanza 12] August moon Oh! I got a boil on my thigh [Stanza 13] Drunk as a hoot-owl Writing letters by thunderstorm [Stanza 14] All-day long Wеaring a hat That wasn't on my head [Stanza 15] Beautiful young girls Running up the library steps With shorts on [Stanza 16] Crossing the football field Coming home from work The lonely businessman [Stanza 17] Useless, useless Heavy rain Driving into the sea [Stanza 18] After the shower Among the drenched roses The bird Thrashing in the bath [Stanza 19] The little worm Lowers itself from the roof By a self-shat thread [Stanza 20] Snap your finger! Stop the world! Rain falls harder [Stanza 21] Nightfall Too dark to read the page, Too cold [Stanza 22] In my medicine cabinet The winter fly Has died of old age [Stanza 23] Following each other, My cats stop When it thunders [Stanza 24] Spring evening The two eighteen-year-old sisters [Stanza 25] The postman is late The toilet window is shining [Stanza 26] Wash, hung out by moonlight Friday night in May [Stanza 27] Empty baseball field A robin Hops along the bench [Stanza 28] Blackbird No! Bluebird Branch, still jumping [Stanza 29] My rumpled couch The ladies voice next door [Stanza 30] The bottoms of my shoes Are clean From walking in the rain [Stanza 31] Bee Why you staring at me I'm not a flower? [Stanza 32] The barn Swimming in a sea of Windblown leaves [Stanza 33] Glowworm Sleeping on this flower Your light's on! [Stanza 34] Spring night A leaf Falling from my chimney
