Haiku Sparkle
Linger here then
On restless shores;
Support lost causes
Sooner not later
Tides change;
Not always better
Politics like jam
Or peanut butter spread;
No use without bread
Speak softly
Mutter wisely;
Politically correct
Once in a while
Truth entertains fear;
All hell breaks lose
I think of you
All the time;
Retrospective anthem
Listen and learn
My father said;
He's dead, I'm afraid
Loiter and see
My mother said;
She's dead, it's true
Strange voice tone
Less dreary than me;
Out of this time zone
Mr Eliot he said:
"Mermaids don't sing to me;
I wake up and I drown..."
Thinking makes sad
Feeling turns bad;
Know now I am mad
Thinking and feeling,
Doing No-thing;
Enlightenment comes
Look now
Don't stare;
Then you'll see
