Haiku Maze 7

Dawn hurls
Mystic light;
Soul awakes

~~~~~~~~~


Joy speaks
Wit listens;
Humour smiles

~~~~~~~~~


If you must know
Simply ask;
Truth speaks soft

~~~~~~~~~


Acid rain
Fake smiles loiter;
Skeptical spoils

~~~~~~~~~


Speak softly
Fragrant flower;
Beauty adorns style

~~~~~~~~~


Mindful moments
Peace sheds light;
Joy dwells within

~~~~~~~~~


Profound grounds
Deeper stillness here;
Mindful meditation

~~~~~~~~~


Look thus:
Do you see;
Poignant feelings

~~~~~~~~~


Darkness descends
Round the bend;
Sunlit hours come

~~~~~~~~~


Lines in rhymes
Verse attempts;
Feelings crystalline

~~~~~~~~~


Outburst pungent
Words regress;
Uneasy impasse

~~~~~~~~~


Unhurried trace
Not much said;
More meaning here

~~~~~~~~~


It is what it is
Reality strikes;
Memory unfurls

~~~~~~~~~


Dementia stinks
Meaning corrupt;
Decay remodels

~~~~~~~~~


Sad but true
Your good self dead;
Odd mask falls

~~~~~~~~~


Too many grudges
Hostile takeover;
Ugly metaphors

~~~~~~~~~


Evening settles
Plumerias droop;
Floral sleep time

~~~~~~~~~


Dreamtime 
Sleepy melody;
Tipsy fantasy

~~~~~~~~~
