Wind sweeping hair strands,
Waves rolling, endless nothing,
Girl in city weeps.
Twilight brings delights,
Sounds of drunk celebration,
Owl observes shrewdly.
Lone drop of water
Sun bears down on hot pavement
Passers by pour sweat
Lamppost sways in wind,
Trees bend to will of nature,
Snail sits on a leaf.
Bat glides through forest,
Moon glows through the dying trees,
Werewolf eats children.
Flash of light rips sky,
Destruction left in its wake,
Woman bends to gods.
Sun streams through curtains,
Dust dances through beams of light,
Lovers warm embrace.
Face rests in grass blades,
Body sprawled across green field,
Sun observes perplexed.
Peaceful sleeping cat,
Doleful inquisitive dog,
Meteor hits earth.
Watch time flow along,
Rivers trickle past swiftly,
Old man eats alone.
Pale fingers scrape mud,
Endless darkness, no way out,
Mole has lost his way.
Wind beating against window,
Amber glow pierces dark streets,
Winter is coming.
Time off work, friend cancelled meeting up. So here I sit and try to write haikus. Excellent way to spend my time... Odd that I can't concentrate on anything else. Thought about starting my screenplay, or writing a longer poem, decided against it. Haikus are about all I can muster right now. Read a load online, felt inspired by their weirdness. More to come, undoubtedly. The point of haikus is not to make sense... Right?
