Oprah Winfrey turns 53 today, and what was I going to do? Not honor her with a haiku? You know she has so much power and money that if she wanted, I could wake up tomorrow in a cardboard hut in the Arctic Circle with no idea who I am or how I got there. Also, she's pretty awesome, so let's get to work.
oprah, change my life
you have power, pretty hair

4 June 2007
After the storm, my mind cleared.
And a high wind arose and blew the tropics north.
running quartz crystals through a blender.
sand through your engines.
bubbles in your bays.
estuaries reaching out toward forbidden seas…
sand through your eyes.
5 June 2007
Calm as baby’s breath
as peaceful as the storm’s eye
Clouds spread and drawn with rough strokes of stratospheric winds
a warm and windy tropical day.
7 June 2007
Black water at dusk.
Lighting on the horizon.
Warm winds coming in across the darkening waters.
A flash of white wings as an egret takes flight.
And Thunder like God clearing his throat.
8 June 2007
Morning star in the still of the clear, dark waters.
a sky as clear eyed as a young girl.
bruised and tattered storm remnants limp off in the gathering light.
9 June 2007
Tickled her fancy.
giggling all the day long.
pretty good for a Saturday.
Clouds on the lake floating aimlessly by.

You and Dave were great

You spawned Doctor Phil

O, lay off of James.
He lied, yes. But don't we all?
I mean...you and Gayle...?

Oprah rules the world
We mere mortals can just bask
In her Oprah-tastic light

Sycophant housewives
Touch the hem of your garment,
Drool like Pavlov's dogs
