HAIKUS
(mostly)

 

 

 
 

sand in a crack

in rotten concrete

a tiny flower struggling

Oct. 21, 2008

 
 

*

 
 

a little planet

circling round a distant sun

too far away

Oct. 22, 2008

 
 

*

 

 

 

the little boy

touches a guitar

the future in his hands

Oct. 24, 2008

this one is autobiographical
 

*

 

 

 

for a few minutes

the wind has uncovered

two slabs with ancient hieroglyphics

still mostly buried in the sand

will they ever be found?

Oct. 24, 2008

no haiku, I'll admit it - but I like it anyway
 

*

 

 

 

the falling man

 

he had to jump -

a lonely

ten-second journey

yet

a very public way

of dying

May 7, 2010

again, no haiku

this poem is based on phrases used in the 9/11 documentary "the falling man" (also on youtube - recommended)
