A Haiku Triology

If we were like words—
Oh we would live forever;
But we are human—

God gave us the words—
That they pour out forever;
We are but vessels—

Words live forever—
Their begetters are like grass:
So be we poets—

I like this, the rhythms that run through the trilogy and the repetition of 'forever' in particular.
