So – several months ago Wilco had a Haiku writing contest. Below is my attempt at writing haikus. I think they were pretty good – did not win me a guitar. That’s okay; I don’t know how to play. But, think these gems should see the light of day. My favorite line is "With his tools of distortion."
******
Beautiful Tweedy
How your voice, your words thrill us
Sing now, Sing always
*****
Heart, bird, Either Way
Spiders live and Outtasite
Wilco's best by me
******
Just play me Wilco
All the morning, noon, and night
Ipod blares my boys
*****
Oh my Glenn, sweet Glenn
Pound your skins, make my knees weak
So handsome and tall
*****
Nels blows me away
With his tools of distortion
Guitar God, Heaven
******
Mysterious Mike
Sits quietly in the back
In front for Pronto
*****
Pat of the Mod Hair
Struts, vests, and spinning windmills
He's Wilco's style
*****
John brings steady joy
Keeps the bass with warmth and heart
Our friend in the band
******
To Jeff's wool chapeau
Survived departures and drops
Constant as Stirratt
******
Praise for Jeff's neck-eard
Never seen a finer growth
Whiskers of greatness
