an overproof haiku

ice cracked on the rocks 
proof of life unverified 
statues from tears carved

a vagabond haiku

sooted shadows walk 
dusty paths between lost thoughts 
mumbling burnt tokens

a taming haiku

the sweet kiss of life 
chokes the chosen with its teeth 
learn to pet the beast

a soothsayer haiku

rune stars in dice eyes 
noses entrails on platters 
the world lost its taste

tanka by a wanka 9 boris johnson & ilk

boris wore his mops
to clean up his party slops
to help the blind cops 
laws count not for privileged tops
to them voters are milksops

an uncivilizing haiku

an uncivilizing haiku 

crumbling milestones crow 
cobbled road fades from birds eye   
dodos pave along

an erotica haiku

shadows dancing jazz 
roused fluttering hearts beat flames 
skull lovers grind teeth

a halloween haiku

covid runs amuck
in a spiced pumpkin spiked puck 
trick not treating huck

a farewell haiku

staked out for the tide
whipped by sand attached to wind 
a wave takes my tongue

tanka by a wanka 8 novak Djokovic

line umpire calls out 
covid bounces on a court
 no in no out um
jockoprick screams not my fault 
hiding behind his racquet
