This ‘moving to the country’ is getting out of hand
The city has it all, where supply meets demand
Each block has a deli
Enough to fill a belly
And that’s what we call ‘living off the land’!

Become Mad House Horn Haiku

Become Mad House Horn Haiku

White House has become,
A mad house as well as a
Huge nightmare for sure.

After observing news on AM
of 27 Jul7, 2017. This transgender
thing is also getting out of hand.

Cliffs of Dover Horn Haiku

Cliffs of Dover Horn Haiku

This is kind of about North Korea.

Play death on demand
Thing is getting out of hand
And was poorly planned.

His name was Say Who
Accepted their point of view
Was killed that is true.

So who may be next?
Causing us to be perplexed
Sent message of text.

North has no clover
So should do a flyover
But Cliffs of Dover?

Grass Blades

Suddenly, skin slits.  . . .   .  
My fingers are bleeding – ew…
I taint the grass – and it smells like strife’s
(Close at hand)

Out of the blue, blades
Shred my once beloved hopes
Red grass cools me off
(Things are getting out of hand)

And THEN… the oceans
Overhead glitters and swirls
With awesome creatures
(Things are working out just fine)

Restlessly, mind plays
With fire and I’m fired…ooohh…
And I climb for my life – I laugh hard
(What a relief)

Nurture

Born to repeat
Mistakes of my tree
Inspired by survival
Pain is free

In or out
Of this lottery
My family is growing
With others just like me

Protect the turf without hesitation
Watch your back no matter what the situation
Stand and deliver without guarantees
Your life is precious despite the disease 

Sharp extensions to every hand
Navigation is treacherous through my land
Life is cheap, like a grain of sand 
My traumatic living is getting out of hand


Premium Member A Red-Blooded American Responds

Forgive me for feeling the need to say
I am neither a Communist nor a Nazi,
I’m a red-blooded American who served
My country in the U. S. Air Force, and,
I have always stood up for what’s right,
And, when bullied, I am up for the fight.
Divisiveness here is getting out of hand,
And probity is not at all being observed
Even hinting that I am a Nazi is crazy!
Forgive me for feeling the need to say.
