For the Love of Haiku

Bitter angel trapped.
Tricked by slippery smiles,
power of ascent gone.

A Philosophical Haiku

Poison in her eyes…
Continents shift to avoid
her unspoken words.

Poison Ivy

If you sit by the river bank long enough,
you will see the body of your enemy floating by.

And, as a seasoned player of the great game of Pooh Sticks, I’m very patient.
Thank you, Winnie the Pooh & Christopher Robin for teaching me this skill.

For the Love of Haiku

Waiting for dinner.
Fishmeal dropped from sky,
packaged in spacesuit.
