Haiku – Tick

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

Haiku – Senses

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.

Winter’s gray broken
Rays of life warm the planet
Yellow flowers bloom

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, color signals spring is near.

Scars of a planet
Scabbed by concrete and asphalt
Homes lost, nature cries

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, habitat lost.
