I wanted to get caught up again, so I pumped out some more haikus. The first one I think is best example of what a haiku should be (at least of the ones I’ve written). The second was me “nerding out.” I hope you enjoy them.
Haiku 3
Snow in October—
Man and woman separate.
Death comes too early.
Haiku 4
Criminals run scared
At the sight of my dark wings—
I am Batman.
Here’s another poem. This came about from the time I’d spent early in the morning in a quiet house before anyone else wakes up.
Silence
The morning dawns, but the day isn’t new.
Curtains blockade the sunlight
As I lay in bed, lost and lonely,
Staring at the blank ceiling.
My wounds have become scars.
The fire in my heart is snuffed.
My world is gray.
Are You there—there in the silence?
I’ve cried out to You ‘til my throat’s raw.
Your silence terrifies me.
Speak comfort to me.
Renew my hope with Your voice
Before my bed becomes
My final resting place.
