haikus, gesuindheit

the butterfly moves

rippling cocoon, weakened wings

winter fades to spring

—

his heart is shattered

the lazy malaise of loss

another dead dream

—

serendipity

coming together as one

but not for this one

—

the ice covers all

but beneath blossoms find life

her garden of love

—

bloody remnants fall

the last ache of loves refrain

ash coats the wet ground

—

mixed up in my head

triumph and tribulation

another ruin forms

—

the coffee is black

like the stained weary soul

absolution lost

—

am i a poet

or a fool just rambling on

i do not know now

—

Her wings, gossamer

his cloven hooves, destruction

life and death, raining

        1. i really like haikus. never tried before except in school a million years ago. there is something freeing in the forced structure. makes me concise. i wrote another dozen or so with these. they just kept coming.
