A single matchstick
is all it takes to brighten
the chaotic dark;

but it takes nothing
for the darkness to feed on
and consume our fear.

°•°

In all of our eyes
is a tiny bit of light,
big enough to see.

In all of our eyes
the pupil's darkness is void:
central to all light.

•°•

Man created fire,
and he brought light to the earth
to fill night's darkness.

The man who knows fire
gains a fear of the unknown:
the dark he forgets.

°•°

There is no darkness
without light. To see darkness
you must have sight: light.

A bud's life
Is short, yet wonder comes
As flower unfolds
A variation of another Haiku of mine. This time experimenting with long vowel syllables being worth two beats and short vowel syllables counted as one.

As August matures
My patio grows green
and is a new lawn

Last night's softshells
send vaporic reminders
To take trash out

it's taking a breather
from fat wallets, damp denim,
and children's ***** feet.

And now without sense
Your scent has overtaken me
And my common sense.

a bear leaves behind a trail

Executives smile
before they pull out the knife -
stressful way of life.
