Mists 2
Dawn flings a face
All darkness flees;
Birth of new day
~~~~~~~~~
That Old Man once thought:
"Poetry is not viable..."
Who can eat poems
~~~~~~~~~
In our twilight years
Even time is suspended;
Marionettes know best
~~~~~~~~~
Love is a good excuse
When things go right;
Consider the alternatives
~~~~~~~~~
In my house
I live life brief;
Time excavates my soul
~~~~~~~~~
Haiku soapbox styles
Words in brief grief;
Soon I run away
~~~~~~~~~
Words do not tell
Of many things;
Forbidden and forgotten
~~~~~~~~
My darling calls
My name out loud;
Dreamtime outbursts
~~~~~~~~~
Horrifying nightmare
I struggle with despair;
Awake to gratitude
~~~~~~~~~
Lines loiter here
Linger with motives;
Pregnant envoi
~~~~~~~~~
Senryu sensations
Not much to say;
Pickle me fancy love
~~~~~~~~~
Words line up
Extravagantly economic;
Profit and loss
~~~~~~~~~
Now at last
Someone mimics a monkey;
Is it strange then
~~~~~~~~~
