Five Haiku

Such a disaster 
Waking up in the morning
Shamelessly white 

Haiku
 Self- tanning cream
The pride of looking sporty 
The mirror pulls face 

Haiku
Deep philosophy 
The poet is in deep water
Saved by low tide

Haiku
One types of success
When your work brings happiness
And not endless doubt  

Haiku
The loser a man 
Who knows he`s incompetent  
Yet accuse others

The news I read
Been the same for fifty years
War and film stars

Lotta meat on dem bones! To my faves for reference on days when the world seems overwhelming. Hard to pick a favorite out of the batch, probably the poet one;-) Enjoyed a bunch! ~ john

Cheers, Jan. Reading them made me smile, and I'm not even sure why.
