when are metaphors
not applicable as proof
that they're existent

when a person dies
but remains here quite alive
mute indifference...

Written then submitted,
yet another N/A.
But it's not my business.
Their Say Their Way.
Gets hot in the kitchen.
Need to lift up Play.
So, Got Game,
or Another N/A?...

Grass Became Brown

Grass has become brown,
And sure seems so cold outside;
Wish that spring was here.

How is punctuation supposed to
be used in haiku? The above
seems to be applicable to me.

Can't touch your right elbow with your right arm
Tried it, now have some psychological problems living on the farm
Maybe there's still hope
Around the barn I mope
Need applicable therapy in the form of a firearm...

Phantasmagorical.
NB
A series of real or imaginary images seen in a dream.
This word would be applicable to all poems of lasting value from the most divine to the most nightmarish.

Until applicable law is enshrined, 
the ultimate right is defined.
     I am pillared now.

Until my voice, speak as my voice, 
     the world is lost.
I am the celestial star that guides your path.
     Morpheus is divine.

Your intention to work
  Or you are in, tension to work?

Your inactive position

Weeping upon the pillow of hiding
To disappear while each tear washes away
The dirty laundry stained with apathy and rejection
Dwelling in the temple of our shallowness

He's protected by insurance on his house
   his vehicles, a wide range of health concerns
   permanent disability, large appliances
   his business and all its applicable insurables

   against floods, wars, tornadoes earthquakes
   glacier-melt, cyclones, asteroids, meteors
   avalanches, mudslides, volcanoes, air and 
   seat travel...

                   ... But nothing on his own life...

I can accept many things cordially
Old, new, history, science, philosophy
And at the same time, I can't accept many
Beliefs, disbelief, truths, false hypocrisy

I'm human by flesh and blood
I'm wielder of my own thought,
A conductor of a good and bad sort
Independence is my manners fort

I'm not a robot, dogma is not a fixed staple in me
So no feud is applicable in bringing peace globally
