they travel away
someone was in the doorway
footprints in the snow

A goldfish swimming
it's open mouth closing
A deafening sound

You have two lines here
Please set this up in haiku
Infuriating

Dedicated soul
beaten by authority
Amusing triumph

The droplets gathered
pools of water on the ground
All bland and boring
I decided to take a poetry course. The first part was my first submission. It was rejected. I responded by using their reply as my second submission. They accused me of not taking it seriously which prompted my third submission. I decided they may also reject that so I submitted the final haiku.

Dog lipped, Golden hair
Eyes shimmering under star light
Milk skinned, buck toothed
Groping for the edge
screaming, screaming
Why does she make the that sound
Heavy breathing
The smell of cherry blossom wafting through the room
Lashes, 25 lashes glowing red
Warm to the touch
Staring into space
Mouth agape, exhausted
Still reaching for the edge.

A cold expression lay on his face as he stared at the wood lined walls
In it he saw a vast and barren wasteland
In it he saw the dead
He gazed so hard it was as if he saw through time
We lost him for nearly an hour
He turned with tear filled eyes and asked for another beer.

Do you see that the things you preach are not shown by your actions
Would you tell a man in public the things he does are wrong
Only to hide in your house and commit the same offenses
Why do you speak at length about Solidarity
Yet turn your head when your brothers are in need
Why do you rely on the same system you despise
It mustn't be all that bad if it's worked for you
Is there truly compassion in your heart for others
I've learned that a man who brags of his altruism has missed the point
Will you tell everyone that you've sheltered the homeless
Will you let them know how you fed the hunger
Have you ever given up so that another could have at least a little

Walls pounding
The sound of feet on the other side
Laughing children delight in their games
2 AM
Stomping feet
Thumping on my ceiling
Joyous laughter
The children refuse to sleep
The sound gets louder
as they stand above
On the other side of the walls
Another world
