Log in first to add your own haiku.
mankind by nature
is egregiously flawed
let profoundly vain
(0)
the hardships of life
could not tarnish hope or heart
nobel was her plight
(0)
torn between desire
and responsibility
what’s a guy to do
(2)
the guardian stands
ever watchful, without sleep
guarding his keep
(0)
woe to the poor souls
living mediocrity
naught will they amount
(3)
her credulity
was only exceeded by
her naivety
(0)
once it is attained
possessing what we covet
comes with its own cost
(0)
Many traits swimming
In the gene pool of my life
Some deep; some shallow
(2)
like scars of battle
our experiences show
a map to our past
(2)
the old man weeping
while ever closer creeping
death came a reaping
(2)
Though he may not know
He taught me by his actions
Mentored without show
(1)
blue tendrils streaking
across dark and angry skies
CRASH, POP, SIZZLE, CRACK
(1)
Most call them wrinkles
I fancy time an artist
Etching lines of life
(2)
giving goose bumps rise
like a cold wind on damp days
memories of you
(3)
jealous is the love
whose desire is neglected
for an other’s want
(3)
you thrust; I parry
the deadly dance of dueling
in which nobody wins
(2)
old age marches on
the feet of time stomping by
with naught to stop it
(1)
no light at the end
just dark endless catacombs
I seek to escape
(4)
flawless, I am not.
many fractures; big and small;
surface and below
(2)
alone with my thoughts
turning them this way and that
looking for meaning
(3)
