a fascism rising haiku

young dove hatchlings fly
dropping fresh oppressive shit  
old man hate rehashed

old man is not referring to existing older people, even if  in some cases it is applicable.

a reaping haiku ⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️

smoke screams fill the car 
reapers ride the bullet trains 
last stop terminal

authors notes 
recent current events in NY had me back looking thru my reaper collection .
thankfully 
the NY attack was not a reaper event. 
i changed the 1st line from [dead screams  fill the car ] to it's current form .

the whirlpool

the old fleabag stared into his cup 
ever since he was a drowned runt pup
watching it runneth over empty 
in a land where bones were a plenty
yet banks wouldn't let him dig any out
so he chewed off a leg to save his snout 
stole a bath to sail troubled waters 
tempted by neptune's buried daughters  
the fleabag growled just my boneless luck 
as he paddled in circles till stuck 
a passing whale gave a farewell wink 
as he pulled the plug out of his sink

a legend haiku

willo the wisp dies 
in a forest of statues 
felled by mocking rocks

authorz notes -
its about following the light shinning out our own arse into danger (our own insecurities) . 
not support for the will smith act of violence perpetrated on chris rock.
the event that prompted this poem.
