John Lawless Poet Haiku

Drunken Moon Haiku -Not For Contest

Drunken Moon Haiku


smokeless tobacco
seeking light from another
mooching off the sun



loitering in dusk’s
drunken aura of darkness
last call at sunrise



a lone wolf’s farewell
song of life’s broken spirit
hobos serenade



round moon – square window
cold framing whiskey’s wisdom
red cheeked aftermath

Andrea Dietrich July 3, 2015 at 2:26 PM gosh, these are so COOL, John. Why don't you want to enter the contest? If she is asking for just one, I hope you will pick one and submit it separately. My favorites are the second and fourth!
