OF LIFE AND DEATH TODAY: A 5-7-5-7-7-7-5-7-5-7 FLOW
(Apropos Of An Ironic Juxtaposed Reality)
Ironically,
it’s cheaper to live than die:
Save, self-cremation:-
Even then, you must pay for
The ashes to be cleaned up:-
And don’t forget, the family
Is charged to pay off all debts
That you may have left behind:-
Ironically,
We are born to live and die,
Life, being cheaper:
Funerals are expensive!
Glory be to God,
Moms are the laborers of God:
Praising God for Moms:-
Without their labor,
We would not be in this world:
All praises to Moms:-
Praise God for navels,
Keeping Moms with us always:
Happy Mother’s Day!
all about nature
vivid lines of imagery
verb free the hardest
Haikuist
rejects 5-7-5
in majority
God- a playing thought
Man and woman together
By the believed name
Blind by born inside
Sees nothing though sun alight
Coal –rich heart of fuel
Love- divine honey
Believer’s heart blooms fully
In faithful flowers
Blessings of elders
Can change roots of every life
If there's modesty
Buzzing life story
In the eardrums of flowers
To live on honey

i once read this comment that said
you and your haikus
then i get the definition
it was like my haikus are a cancer without a chance for remission
yet and still they swirl in my mind like a green candy cane
i reply to the comment by saying
what about you and your haikus
then i highlight certain parts of the definition
i read other haikus like a textbook without a sedative feeling
your style inspires my style....only mine is slightly left of your corner write
heaven touches earth
corrupt clouds torn asunder
rain of revival
no caps
5-7-5
fragmented droplets
reflect, refract light through prisms
bent spectrum delights
shades of autumn call
late shadows of passing clouds
sing late summer song
God is kind and wise
Food, shelter, shade, play, paper
Trees are versatile
Holidays gone past
Hearts ate sad, yet happy
Why not in between?
The ship drifts to sea
Behind left is a life loved
Though it just can't be
(5-7-5)
When things go just right
Be happy,enjoy good times
Fact,they won't be back.
Nothing returns same
The way it was,it won't be
Their time is now past.
No matter,it's gone
Whats past has fled and no more
Look forward, no back.
So dont cry too long
Just go with the flow sometimes
Door closes,another opens.
Love makes us feel great
When from someones heart just shines
Treasured, keep that love.
Sometimes love won't last
Like rain some will come and go
Some leave profound mark.
So don't cry too long
Smile and don't look back all time
Life's too short for that.

Wooden window creaks -
Tree branch swing hanging lowly
Peeking sun thaws snow
