Within The Grass

Cautious, quick motion
Winged gods demand offerings 
Terror in my grass.

Invective and Rage

Invective and rage,
Today’s social currency.
Fire consuming all

Fearfulness

Distant echoes play
Emotions raised from my past
Words obscured by time.

Today’s Haiku Challenge: Long

Critical to climb
Ascend to the greatest heights
Thus see the long view

My response to “Today’s @baffled #HaikuChallenge: any haiku you like, as long as it has the word ‘long’ in it….” on Twitter.

Soul’s Creation

Journeys create souls
Deepening our deepest depths
First step: send ourselves.

Childhood’s Collapse

Daily decay’s
Raging presence
Death’s fragrance
Fills me deeply.

Then that morning’s
Ragged breathing,
Brutal truth of
Impending silence.
