Haiku – Ice

Man controls weather
Snow and ice knock out Texas
Mother Nature laughs

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, nature always wins.

Haiku – Three

Wrist tied, three kneel down
A bullet for each, they die
Two boys, one girl, lost

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, teenagers lose their life over drugs

Behind the dumpster
An addict with a needle
Lying in the trash

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, a life is trashed.

The mirror has lied
Old age shows itself, wrinkles
Shocked you turn away

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, an old face is seen for the first time.

A train whistle blows
It sounds so lonely, tears flow
A loved one leaving

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, a loved one departs.

Nature changed by man
Its waters, starlight, darken
Waiting for revenge

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, a hurricane approaches.

Black, no light shines through
White, darkness can not be seen
With only one, death

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, night and day bring life.

Razor fence and guns
A safe place for them to hide
Not for you; obey

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, hypocrites

Burned, hit from behind
Mouth wide, head split, brains oozing
Another sad scene

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, death is part of the job.

Competition banned
They are under my control
Where did they all go

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, power is given not taken.
