We’ve had some great feedback from our fans on Facebook and I’d like to share some of the haikus they’ve created that celebrate Hobo Digest and the hobo lifestyle.
This haiku came courtesy of Jeff:
After the first two lines the poem can end one of two ways:
1) In a gutter, alone.
2) Celebrating and loving life.
I’m glad Jeff chose the optimistic route.
Next we have Christa, a stunning young lady in the hobo community. She stopped by the Hobo Facebook page to drop off this haiku for me to take care of:
Enter a barrel
Into the mind of Danish
Hopes and dreams are found
Into the mind of Danish
Hopes and dreams are found
This really sums up the my first trip to the imaginarium belonging to that Mr.Danish (I’ll tell you how that ends on Monday). This haiku begins so mundane and then slowly unravels to reveal a rainbow of mystery and mystique. “Into the mind of Danish” is so intriguing! I just can’t wait to read the next line after that and then BAM! I’m hit with “Hopes and dreams are found.” What a resolution.
As a bonus, here is the haiku I contributed:
Boxcar Rumbling,
House of cardboard crumbling.
I’m home. Finally.
House of cardboard crumbling.
I’m home. Finally.
What do you think it means?
