To please the sharer of the Rabbit
In the desperate hope
That our masquerading
Will warrant us a piece

Pay with your humor

The clocks still tick by.
What have you even done,
To warrant a place so high,
And have fabricated fun.

Is your world much worth,
The strict concern of time.
A snail's grit is more mirth,
Shot before the final chime....

I don't know what is life
but I want to live anyways
spring hasn't yet arrived
and outside we see the birds
they master how to fly
while floating in the air
they don't need warrant for their lives
they trust, jump and learn.

There was a warrant out for my arrest.
I’d broken laws—as many would attest.
BEWARE! The cops will also come for you
if you break sacred rules in your haiku!

You think you know me, but you ne'er will


                    These hells plunge leagues too deep to fill


                              Such horrors and frights are mine to earn


          And warrant no flesh but this ... will burn....

Nathan wanted to make a difference 
And do something in deference
So he made a giant carrot
That became his personal warrant

To create smiles as he went
The Melbourne streets he sent
To others passing a silly smile
And Nathan knew it was worthwhile.

A true story...

Nothing occurred before
nor after this time
of a streetlamp burning
on avenues untraveled

At the heart of my question
is the thing I die to ask
too much for my tongue
far too often timid

If one minute the world is cruel
only to warrant ennui
the ensuing is absurd
familiar as an old joke...

Lying in ill warrant still slumbering
Its own age quill rule; restless wandering 
In its grandeur, brandish securities
Ought they, beget these magical beauties

Husband, brother, son, 
lover, friend - 
Will we see you again?
Will you be a headline on the news?
Unarmed and unashamed.
We stand fearful and furious
in tear soaked silent pleas.
Something must change.
His skin won't warrant death,
and our hearts won't continue to pay 
the inexcusable cost
of love in America....

A date is marked on the calendar you see. 
It's an important one of great urgency. 
Not appearing at the court house will be a shame. 
The judge will issue a bench warrant in my name. 
The police can come and haul away my tail. 
His honor has the power to throw me into jail.

Worms are grisly,
quite abhorrent,
slimy, and a world apart from
style and character, I warrant.

All they do is wriggle,
wiggle to distraction,
captured by the early bird
they're skewered to inaction,

yet they aerate the soil,
help in nature's grand design,
I must print a full retraction,
they're not grisly, they're just fine....
