Haiku (dim dawn)

High school fealty shines,
Linking Titans with lame hacks,
. . . Everyone is pleased.

Hello Poetry - wake up and smell the doff heresy!!

Haiku (dawns tyranny)

No destinations—
Weird sycophant's pantheon,
Gertrude Stein's Oakland.

Ever since Gertrude Stein wrote of Oakland, "there is no there there," people have used this quote to condemn the city, things of questionable worth and the 'art' of dabblers.

Haiku ( parting )

Sky falls, love ending
Blue shades, becoming deeper,
Eyes underwater.

Seán Mac Falls

Haiku ( dashed )

Without ever hands . . .
She knew deep power of touch,
. . . Still heart broke on hold.

Haiku ( nymph )

At pond she undressed,
Clothes fell as joyful sun rose,
Blushing— twice naked.

Haiku (revealing)

Sheer little sun dress,
Lustful Gods gifted my eyes,
Rain took off her clothes.

Haiku ( first love )

They saw each other—
As party died their ache grew,
. . . Paired eyes *******.

Haiku ( hung out )

We lost connection—
Longer pauses on phone lines,
. . . Last words on a wire.

Haiku ( snowy owl )

One fence post taller—
Holds round black moons full of death,
Silent wings falling.

Haiku (doppelgängers)

Small yellow flowers . . .
Sparks sprinkled in meadows shine,
. . . Mirroring the stars.

Haiku (revelations)

We bled that stark night,
Conversation drowned with wine,
What words were not said?

Haiku ( tardy )

After our row . . .
I bought flowers and waited,
. . . Now they are brittle.

Zz Haiku ( adorned )

Rain water clinging . . .
Naked trees festooned with beads,
. . . Jewels in the sun.
