johnny doe’s lament

lifes a bit boring 
without the whoring 
without the drugs 
and ecstasy hugs 
without the drink 
we'd never see pink  
without deadly sins  
life never begins 
we'd just remain clay 
for the sculptures to flay 

everyone hates lies
until someone dies
then what whoppers they tell
forgetting to send us to hell
never speaking ill
our lives they distil 
to cure our cyst and boils 
they cover us in salted soils 
so our stories don't grow 
here on earth's death row 
no ones left to verify 
that we all could fly

tanka by a wanka 3 drowning evolution

from the moons birds view 
earths feeble crop of green hair 
is drowned by bald blue
i hear seaweed is healthy 
mind warp to devolve whomans

a compassionate haiku

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

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

a trial haiku

a basalt pillow
how all hero’s sleep at night
heads against their will

an exploding haiku

bombs outweigh your lives
they say that “bombs support peace”
bondage is NOT peace

a passing haiku

an old tree explodes
then falls before winters feet
from nott’s eyes tears spring
