This nihilist night,
the sky is only void and
burning tombstone stars.

“Consciousness Haiku,” by Eric Robert Nolan
Consciousness Haiku:
Self-aware atoms
in a byzantine system —
Neurons feign a man.

Publication notice: Haikuniverse features “Our Drive Home”
I got some more nice news today — Haikuniverse featured my micro-poem, “Our Drive Home.” Haikuniverse is a project of the Poetry Super Highway, and daily publishes either a haiku or a micro-poem. (Readers can sign up for an e-mail from Haikuniverse each day.)
Thanks so much to Editor Rick Lupert for allowing me to share my very brief poem.
You can find it below:
I almost typed “a short haiku,” but I figure that would be a redundancy.
The good folks over at Dead Snakes were kind enough yesterday to feature a haiku I penned. Click the link for “Sideburns Haiku” by Ye Olde Nolan:
“Sideburns Haiku,” by Eric Robert Nolan
Anyway, every time I think of the word “sideburns,” I think of the Tony Travis song of the same name, performed in 1953’s “The Beatniks.” Only Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans will know what I am talking about.
