We are extremely trained
in our failures
and tremendously incompetent
in our successes...
The Ocean cries fowl!
These disgusting humans are-
predictable imps
Al Juman the said poet Haiku style 5-7-5- 1/30/2021
Understanding is virtuous, competing is human and banal.
THE CAGED BIRDS
When the twilight falls
with light of clumsy fish
in a shallow stream
rain flows with raging winds
*YOUNG POET*
Living oppressed like an aged cloth
hang under the spicy sun
singing song of lamentation to cool down
their burning nerves
*YOUNG POETESS*
They hiss
like a wounded ororo snake
chokes with vengeance
in orhere-land, curly and springy
it glistens in the dark
*YOUNG POET*
The world was discoloured
as their heart rending
*YOUNG POETESS*
