What is a haiku
A moment plucked from time's flow
Summed up in three lines

Writers of haiku
Prove that one doesn't need a
Big pot to pith in

There once was a poet from London,
Whose verses often veered t’word a pun,
He suffered the asthma,
Had anemic plasma,
So paper and ink summed up his fun

The leech boasts he ends many wars
With each speech Trump’s truce total soars
His confused amount
And White House account
Are summed-up trysts with Epstein's whores

There was a girl, of I thought
I loved her so much, a ring I bought
Thinking of happy marriage
To propose I summed up all my courage
Unfortunately, she wasn’t ready to tie the knot.

i've been
through
the mail
almost
tearing
it up as
if it were
junk mail
but summoned
to report for
jurie duty
and i had
to laugh be
cause my
wife was
also asked
to be before
the court but
she isn't
a citizen
but she
drives
allowing
her to decide
yes my
husband
is a drunk
give
him
a
dui

I do not know?
Strict Iambic form- should
Set fourteen rhyming lines:
Syllables checked, ten each
Spread 'tween Pentameter.
Staged in eight-line Octave
Summed wisely with Sestet,
Sealed with ending Couplet.

Frankly you didn't give a dam
That pretty much summed up
the whole future of the film industry.
People throw their hands up and say
I do not give a dam about what children
watch and mold their lives after.
I don't Give a dam when parents
protested the type of shows that
were placed before the family.
You dont give a dam and you still dont

Cats know if you are safe to be around,
And if your mind is sound.
Cats know where trust can be found,
They don't often get drowned.
Cats know if for the hills they should be bound,
Or by the fire they should be found.
Cats judgement is usually sound,
Which means if you come around,
And the cat cannot be found,
You may soon be outward bound.

Light Verse
The love of God what can I say
It's there for all to see
It was love that sent His only Son
To die for you and me.
There is no other love like this
That He should die for man
Before the foundations of the earth
It was salvation's plan.
This amazing love from God to man
Is summed up like this for me
Jesus Christ Him crucified
At the place called Calvary.

REFLECTION
Reflecting the world tiny one,
In what you see where you've landed.
Dancing, copying, becoming.
Now, a yellow wild canary.
Then, a dandelion puff.
Not pretending but reflecting,
Becoming, summed in soul.
In the mirror I see the wrinkles,
In the silver see your smile.
I see the outside in decline,
You only see inside, for awhile.

This is Passover
in old and new Testaments
Love means Sacrifice

Here comes the solicitor of the near end
when a pandemic causes pandemonium
It is a rare fiend
Apparently, we overlooked the outcome
More focused on self-actualization
Those Little affairs are bunkum
Yet we aren't turned on
By seen outrageous fatalities
Someone once said its our favorite con
Wake up wake up
Our dreams are altered with no alternatives
That altercation should be summed up

Lyric
We heard the buzz
A certain fly with hear on the wall
Twitters what was
The sorrow to come after the fall
And all my life
Suddenly undefined and summed up
In a new strife
"We have to let you go." And we sup
Nothing but shame
Before the eyes of wife and children
The empty frame
Of manhood like a rag, and heaven
Silent just stared
At the end of fragile dignity
Jobless and scared
In a small scraps of identity.

Verse
Shaken up, spun around, and knocked down
Left alone, hardened to stone, fighting for what you own
In a way you’ve lost, though your journey has just begun
Success is fleeting while you spend your time retreating
Significance of your life summed in a second
On your way you got lost, began your journey backward
The path winds with whipping winds
Vines creep and crawl to trip and tangle
But you are no longer lost, travel through the hardships

I do not know?
Only few could hear me this round
As if I had no ideas of my own
To leave me secure upon safe ground.
As if I could be summed up in a few words,
Like to those who thought they knew me,
As if I said too little, too faintly
Only to find myself behind all the words never said.
As if I said too much, too fast
Only to leave behind a weight of confusion
This round so very few could hear what I was trying to say,
As if some were simply not listening.

The late Eddie Cochran summed it up well in his song.
The current situation I’m in is all wrong.
It is summertime, and that’s where we belong.
Folks hibernating all winter are doing their thing.
The weather is warm, and there are many birds that sing.
Although today is so pleasant and sunny,
it might as well be raining because I don’t have any money.
Because I haven’t got a dime and can’t go anywhere,
I’m stuck at home and deeply in despair.

I always remember her
in her office,
illuminated by the late afternoon
sun.
Her zeal to do right,
always left her
on the verge of tears,
because she set the bar
so high.
She was a teacher that
gave her all to her students.
Her life was summed up in
the previous 4th of July
weekend.
While the outside world
exploded in celebration
and exuberance she
labored away all night
critiquing each paper so
they could be returned
next day as promised.
