Haiku Moments 24
Old facade
Museum facelift;
Joy sparkles
~~~~~~~~~
Uneasy buzz
Empty talk ooze;
Juicy bits
~~~~~~~~~
Pokemon fling
Sure strokes sling;
Crazy madness
~~~~~~~~~
Newspaper headlines
Too much noise;
Trade deficit
~~~~~~~~~
Violent protests
Crowds angry now;
Defiance congregates
~~~~~~~~~
Bad news sells
Print run profit;
Violence breeds rape
~~~~~~~~~
White wake
Gloomy death black;
Grief suffocates
~~~~~~~~~
Single rose stalk
Sad parting gift;
Funeral pyre
~~~~~~~~~
End of life
Mortal remains on fire;
Tears for fears
~~~~~~~~~
Sad story slays
Vivid hurts ply;
Cold death curtains
~~~~~~~~~
Flat battery
Car-pool forlorn;
No redemption
~~~~~~~~~
Evening dark
Haphazard debris;
Dreary rain
~~~~~~~~~
Death steals
Seizes soul stuff;
Corpse frozen cold
~~~~~~~~~
Breezy wind
Wet promises;
Crashing madness
~~~~~~~~~
Harbour view
Distant ships moor;
Tentative horizon
~~~~~~~~~
Burning joss sticks
Smoke signals feisty;
Ancestral shrine
~~~~~~~~~
Prayers ascending
Smoky fumes swirl;
Heavenly kinship
~~~~~~~~~
Stormy evening
Wet earth moans;
Monsoon redecorates
~~~~~~~~~
