Night dark as black ink
Things happen next to the pond
Butterfly flyby

History repeats
Ignorant ideas return
How does it happen

#haikufeels #haiku #poetry #prompt #haikucommunity #poetrycommunity

Cholera coloured
Ink stained fingertips left prints
Blue grey signatures
Happen to match the killers
Distinct calling card

Cauterised concerns
Somehow produce phantom pains
For wounded egos
Doctor’s prescription wet with
Inky solutions

Butterfly gliding
Wandering aimlessly through
Making connections

at every level
the cartoon-burglars happen
while we’re distracted

Ignore the gecko
And the spider on the wall
Don’t get distracted

dangerous knowledge
qualified literacy
harmfully ignored

cheap crooks and liars
the chime of a broken oath
hope to be ignored

dirt dumb cultists
right-wing euphemisms
ignore failure

delusion of self
indicia hard to ignore
defy perception

cocksure leadership
ignores the obvious threat
salty and oily

pickable locks
the susceptible latch
onto falsehoods

Misty blanket
Like a hand over the fields
Rises with the sun

Trying a new thing
Planting seedlings in the sand
Not sure it will work 🤷🏻‍♀️

Realise all rings
Can turn bonds into bondage
Once you understand
Rings are just links in a chain
“Gifts” start to look strange

#HaikuFeels #vss365 #HaikuSky #Poetry #MicroPoetry #PoetryCommunity #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #BlueSkyPoets #WriteSky #Poem #Scrape #SkyPoets #HaikuCommunity

Upon your finger
Stains of old love still remain.
Regretfully, the
Ring’s shadow reminds us of
Oaths we tried to keep.

I stand here adorned.
Rings wrapped round wrists and ankles
Manacles, they said.
They dig into seasoned flesh
Who knows what comes next?

It’s that time of year
When winter realises
The battle is lost

circling a pond
fox realize purpose
stray goslings

Morning was peaceful
It broke when the ships appeared
Then it all started

#haikufeels #haiku #poetry #prompt #haikucommunity #poetrycommunity #alieninvasion

Writing’s on the wall
Heed the warning of the pen
Flee whilst you still can

#haiku #haïku #haikupoetscommunity #haikupoem #haikupoet #haikucommunity #poem #poet #haikufeels #poetry#poetrycommunity #micropoetry #vss365

With each pen swipe I
Eject errant effluent
Upon pristine sheets
Mental refuse presented
As erudite script

Her pensive posture
Illuminated by dim
Candlelight felt so
Foreign as she manoeuvred
A pen through the light

#Emoetry #vss365 #HaikuSky #Poetry #MicroPoetry #PoetryCommunity #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #BlueSkyPoets #WriteSky #Poem #Scrape #SkyPoets #HaikuCommunity

A pen nimbly
Sashay across the loose leaf
Revealing to us
Deliciously devious
And dastardly deeds

ejected tephra
rotating ash of concern
in low orbit

Wolf in sheep’s clothing
That man is a menace
And an epic fail
