I’m
sorry but—
I love you.
My first Hay(na)ku

Respect
does not
warrant meek submission.

Loyalty
is a
two-way street.

Obedience
cannot be
mistaken for assent.  

Justice
should be
free of prejudice.

Being human feels
like a compromise.

O' barren land
I shall
Cultivate

Prepare the soil
And soon
Activate

I shall sow
Seeds to
Germinate

For the seeds
Shall mostly
Accelerate

In the land
Weeds shall
Decimate

And I shall
Reap the
Harvest

To feed the
Poor and
Gravest

Your white lies
And guessing
Games

You stumbling over
Some foreign
Names

You smile and
Wink to
Blame

Your action sometimes
Turns out
Lame

I love you
Like a
Flame

Adore our selfies
In the
Frame

Always with you
You're my
Dream

You are my
Only soul
Reaper

And I'm your
Only soul
Grim

Grizzo Apr 2015
Alarm
goes off,
cup of coffee

Cigarette,
back porch,
before fighting traffic,

Work,
Work, Work
9:30 to 6:30

Dinner,
watch movies
or write poetry

Seems fulfilling enough
I can't complain
NapoWrimo #27 - Write a hay(na)ku

Across
the sky
cloud smears remain

Gauze
in bunches
white and bright

Winged
ones broken
no flying dared

Spirits
strong births
and weddings still

People
parked lives
in garages safe...

other
places need
earth shaking change

from
flightless broken
wings ill repaired

1968
turns out
a 2015 sequel

Cities
both, streets
filled, with rubble.

One
an Earthquake,
other Equality troubles.
hay(na)ku   - first time trying, two topics, too big,  
one word
two words
three words.
For the people of Nepal, and all its cities who have had their lives chaotically altered.
For the people of Baltimore, peace will bring peace, but what will
bring equality.
Nepal has a bird as its National Animal
and as for Baltimore, Orioles, Ravens.....etc
