Mouse of Zen Monday

About the Column

A haiku is a highly structured poetic snippet consisting of three short phrases that together should trigger an image in your mind. You won't find haikus at Disney. You will find haikus about Disney every Monday on the Disney Dispatch written by JB Conway, author of the well-regarded book, Mouse of Zen, which of course is full of Disney haikus. What better way to step into your Disney week!

Mickey in the Clouds [Mickey May #5]

As 'regular' May draws to a close, so does 'Mickey' May, our month-long series of haiku by JB Conway featuring everyone's favorite Mouse. We've had wisps of Mickey, tears of Mickey, chills and crumbs, too. Now it's Mickey in the clouds ... with magic!

The haiku theme for this month is Mickey May. Each week, JB Conway will evoke the Mouse in haiku. Maybe classic Mickey, maybe Sorceror Mickey, maybe Mickey in a manner unimagined.

Are you ready, kids?

Here's a comparison you don't see too often.

Lucy in the Sky with... Diamonds. Mickey in the Clouds with... Magic.

There's no music, unfortunately, but there is haiku.

JB's last haiku of the month presents a simple, timeless image: bright sun and white clouds over children at Disney World.

What more really needs to be said about that?

If you haven't bought JB's book, Mouse of Zen, and yet you come here each week to read his haikus, why do you torture yourself? Are you a masochist? (Or maybe a mouseochist?) Don't you know you can get all the haikus at once? In the book!
