Haiku – The Shade

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.

Haiku – Shut Up!

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.

Water fills the hole
My shovel digs out wet sand
Water fills the hole

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, determination rules the day.

Ready to rumble
The boxers stand toe to toe
One punch, it’s over

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, knockout.

The last breath exhaled
A painful struggle over
Relief and sorrow

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, the guilt of relief.
