Haiku Volume 10

I haven't posted any Haiku since volume 9 back in the year 2015, but today as Haikuesday winds down I return with some more Japanese poetry for your mind to digest. I am just so glad to be back writing these, they are so much fun.

After writing these I realized most are not light hearted, so you can picture where my mind is right now. It sure is not in a place to finish Slothcano which kind of pisses me off, but such is the world in my mind. Regardless of the subject matter in these little ditties I hope you enjoy, but if you don't enjoy them my advice as always is just

I

Glum skies open up.

Hail batters the concrete rose:

death in the ghetto.

II

A shallow hole dug;

dirt tossed hastily over.

Silenced forever.

III

A ringing cellphone

is ignored as thunder claps:

one final needle.

IV

Red hearts and flowers

dying slowly in vases.

Hallmark bathes in cash.

V

Poison flowing free

ignored by politicians

slow death to a town.

VI

Orange faced buffoon

spewing hate to the masses

cheered by idiots.

VII

Down the rabbit hole

traveling the maze alone

in hopes you appear.
