A lot of folks seemed to enjoy the recent haiku contest that was put on by PJ Soul. Based on that, njnancy suggested to me that there should be a place for Pearl Jam haiku, not as part of a contest, but just in general. So, here it is.
Troubled souls, unite
We have got our place to write
So... drop the haiku!

My head is spinning
from the abuse my ex spews;
my son at his side0 -
Dance with abandon!
Tribal beat; sweet guitars; song,
Cleanse my mind and soul!0 -
Had to thumb my way
To get to where I needed.

Shiny signs often
Draw us in; but, rusted ones
always guide us home.0 -
