Haiku Death Poems
IVs and deathbeds
Line up like grocery carts
In a parking lot
Pushing daises up
From deep below the Earth's crust
Unstable terrain
I see nothing in
Where darkness is musical
And leads me nowhere
I'm an old man now
Looking up at the youthful
Young whippersnappers
Celebrating life
Over a blanket of clouds
That I crawl upon
Celebrate all life
Under a blanket of clouds
Let's snuggle below
Oh, woe to Death's blade
That swipes away at my life
Cutting it too short
Translucent twilight
Where doves fly forever south
By the edge of land
Luminosity
Slowly dying with the Sun
Setting fire to rain
'Til death do us part
So, I whisper, "I love you"
Before I depart
In between circles
I dance to the rhythm's beat
Deep below flowers
A celebration
Where rainbows bend at my knee
Proposing new life
