Haiku – Brood X

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.

Haiku – Last Goodby

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.

Eyes close to darkness
Sleep awaits in the distance
Thoughts get in the way

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, a mind wanders.

Gray returns today
Yellow flowers shrivel up
Spring still weeks away

In this haiku, winter persists.
