The Lifespan of a Haiku
Long-Lost Books
long-lost books
on shelves of
friends,
long-forgotten
What is the lifespan of a haiku?
Cloudburst
furious windshield wipers
ditto rain
no. worse:
can’t see a thing
dammit
Nose Haiku
picking my nose,
hoping nobody notices
how much I like it.
Broken Toy
broken toy I can’t fix
we are poor
my son sobbing can’t sleep
the lifespan of a haiku has already come to an end
