Haiku – Family

A man uses strength
A woman heals and nurtures
A family thrives

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, a couple powers up

Haiku – The Room

Rain freezes to limbs
Cracking sounds fill the night air
The room gets colder

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, the power goes out

Look out the window
Life awaits your return–go
Inaction is death

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, Inaction is death.

Leaves fall in color
Twirling to the ground softly
The shade disappears

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, shade gives way to sun.

Barking all night long
Bark Bark Bark Bark Bark Bark Bark
Morning comes; it stops

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, it finally shuts up

Brood X rises up
Flying high into the trees
They sing and fall down

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, a love song.

Tomorrow morning
One last ride, one last goodby
Dog lost to illness

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, a hard decision

Tick. It was over
Freedom lost without a fight
Midnight rang the bell

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, moral decay consumes all

The screams are haunting
The sights burn into your mind
The smells overwhelm

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, three senses of tragedy.

String falls from above
A puppet stumbles, silence
Another rises

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, the show must go on.
