a risen haiku

open casket drifts
down river towards the sea
death flows beyond life

a ritual haiku

i light the sunrise
boil the kettle for coffee
i fills todays mug

a twilight haiku

old hats will look mad
a worn shoe will loose it’s sole
belts won’t buckle up

a capitulating Haiku

life keeps on twisting
a breeze hangs from a tree branch
such a short short breath

a compassionate haiku

do you hear your heart
beating inside your ears or
has your brain gone deaf

a suspicious haiku

corpse laying by stream
snow dusted for finger prints
rum flows from bottle

a thank goodness haiku

gun barrels for eyes
lead fists to pummel Isis
then zeus left for good

a domestic haiku

a lightning rod waits
to be struck to absorb pain
from zeus’s tantrums

a battered haiku

Eve escaped Adam
cage bird flies through a mirror
lands on a rib perch

a sightless haiku

eyes cursed by the dark
light’s the needle, times the thread
the repair is blind
