Immortality
A quiet and fervent wish
by death-fearing ones
Silence has fallen
but we have been tricked before
Don’t let your guard down
Crocodile tears flow
to a pile of vicious lies
and no one is moved

- WHAT IS A TRUE HAIKU?
I rarely follow the “pause or cutting word” rule. But I try hitting most of the others :)
Do you really know
how to tell the difference?
I do. How ‘bout you?
Is your tinfoil hat
on a bit too tight these days?
Where are the white coats?
Appropriate for the day :D
Help those starving ones
by donating time, money
Yet you do nothing
(feelin’ kinda brassy today - ignore some of these poems…poking at someone)
And while obsessing
over the lives of others
her life passed her by
Is your tinfoil hat
on a bit too tight these days?
Where are the white coats?
My eyes are open
but watching the laptop clock
to once again close
With just a whisper
I quiver and become wet
Anticipation
Insanity swirls
the crashing waves engulf her
While the world watches
Blackened and twisted,
she spews words full of hatred
in her cries for help
The spirit is not
so illusory as it
believes it to be
The soft pattering
of rain, oh, so gently falling
on the colored leaves
