Haikus Poems - Poems about Haikus

Look in the mirror. Who is that weathered, old man staring back at me? When did this happen, Life replacing youthfulness with experience? Do others see me as an aged progression of who I was then? Or as the version I have now morphed into - an antique vessel. But mirrors don’t lie. They just show the reflection of a true image. So, if I embrace: “Who I am, not...

sits a little swift amidst violet flowers ~ flying bud on tied fly mesmerizing tune in the midst of blaring horns~ magpie Robin sings long train swiftly moves without a loco pilot~ trail of busy ants engrossing odor nearby sewage mess reek~ pure white flowers bloom a pleasant moment in the mid of worldly stress~ birds relishing pool a rainbow springs up in the monotonous life~ colorful flowers bloom my plain flat pulse...

Intricate spring life, Nature's bounty overflow: Bees love luscious blooms. Little lotus bloom On the surface of the pond, Dragonfly resting. Basking in summer No hot sun cream protection Red skin many days. Regal red crowns of Fragrant spicy dianthus: Hot summer is near. Vivid butterfly Pollen in the heavy air – Deadly spider's web. Late-night kiss of love, Guitars flutter in the night: Midsummer madness. ...

Haikus Against AI By Mark D. Stucky Computer AI, what once was only sci-fi, is now arising. You might kill us all, AI, but write good essays for my college class? Wish intelligence was less artificial and more real in our world. No machine needed for creating recklessness. Already have lots. Not nearly enough authentic intelligence is found within us. Let’s search for wisdom for our souls that’s actual, not unnatural! (See also my AI...

When I failed to pass Out from Communism class It was my poor Marx. Which dinosaur has A rich vocab to help us? Why, a thesaurus. Spread across all world, A shepherd-less Indian herd, Reservations unheard. I badly needed That job as bakery aid, And dough was kneaded. In your middle-age, O worry not of old age, Turn over the page. __________________________ ...

Where is mystery On how Moses makes his tea? We know, Hebrews it. It won’t surprise me If a cartoonist’s found dead And clues are sketchy. I catch it the least That gossamer lovely beast, Love still if I mist. My blood report O When showed it was type-A blood, Oh, it was Typo. I stayed up all night To trace on Sun’s nightlong flight, Then it...

A Cruel Twist of Fate Silent rendezvous Destiny’s cruel twist of fate Lost chance forever Love’s Chance Whispered in the breeze Meeting place but I’m alone Love’s chance slips away Empty Bench Time slips through my hands Empty bench—where did you go? Heartache lingers on *I wrote this poem on January 7, 2024, as part of a ’30 days of poetry’ January challenge. This was day 7...

Haikus of Suffering Your memory rains Sorrow drenches me with tears. Crashed... last fifteen years. Now sixty-two... old. I have no young grand-children, but one abortion. She left, now alone. I never had her... alone. Stolen, by... desire. Gold, silver, bankroll. Shovel, seduction, harlot. Stolen by my lust. Best friend... ever had. Fifteen years of loyalty. Laid my dog to rest. Missing you, away. Another late night ... office. You sleep without me. My...

Weeping willows stand As silent as sentinels: Children’s laughter rings. The sun’s golden show'rs Filtered by weeping willows-- Dazzling dance of light. The lake’s calm waters-- Picture of serenity A boat passes by. Weeping willows stand Beside the lake’s still waters Sheltering lovers. The much trampled grass Wet with rain from yesterday Looks verdant today. Scores of bicycles Plying the same narrow route Some fast, some slow, some -----. A sea of faces-- Some...
