Life and Love
LIFE AND LOVE.....................HAIKU #12,068-12,073
Poverty stricken
Vital innards and limbs wins
Five Olympic gold.
He drank and sang songs
And strummed on dashboard of car
Then fell dead at noon.
My very white friend
Eloped in Spring, her wedding
Guests all dressed in black.
Fresh off press of life
He tumbled into God's hands
And kicked addiction.
Intoxicated
With his new love, he jumped ship
And kicked addiction.
Oh for the love of
Rain, my lover sits far off
His voice on the phone.
