Suddendly everything is still.
Hailstones lay on the path
and in clumps along the garden
edges like frozen spawn
left by storm clouds now
dying into the distances
of the evening.
The light is muted, the cold,
soundless air hangs breathless
in the trees as if waiting
for the clouds offspring
to hatch and float them off
into the arms of the night.

the narrative of life with
an exclamation.
This just came to me in the night

Hailstones
Haiku: by Tom

The size of hailstones
remain inconsequential,
until striking earth.

So you thought life is easy
For what comes just goes
Seeking unknown,it's all hailstones
Oh Yee they fail again
But I'm going to tell you anyway
Even if you cannot hear me
Yes I'm sad you are gone
But I should spit on your grave I say
Drinking whiskey out of plastic mugs
and wishing the world were better
You couldn't see a way out?
And I heard your mind in the wind today
Should I blame them for your demise?
Should I blame yourself for your failure?
Ooh should I care why you left?
You hate love, you love life
Once you asked someone to hide the bottle,once you didn't
Boom!you failed from the merciless rope
And it squized you so hard
Kwi kwi they cried for you
But ways to die,most of them you can do while living
Once you heard that shame,is the closest thing to death
But neither do I blame you for their tears,
I blame the coperate war profiteers
House nor senate,house,judge
Nor agency.speak for us
