Haiku

[UsuallyPresent]

Shadowy flickers
At the corners of your sight -
Pleasant, or fearful?

 

[Candy_Kane54]

there, their, also they're
I can't tell the difference
just from listening ...

 

[UsuallyPresent]

The context makes the
'They're' there intelligible
To their audience

 

[AlinaX]

th'air's never sweeter
than beyond the prison wall
daffodils at dance

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Cat purring in lap
Snow melting, drops falling down
Cold feet under desk

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Dog lays on my feet
Keeping them toasty and warm
Cat walks on keyboahhheed':';!

 

[Voboy]

Some hate wives that love.
All know this. But? Ego strikes.
Spite is the result.

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Melt drips, drips, drips down
Snow becomes water, then ice
Winter's a shifter

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Melting snow cover
exposes the sleeping grass
before its season

 

[Voboy]

Leaves on the ground cry,
"Soon! Soon, we will disappear!
Snowblower tune-up.

Some people may judge
Authors on the Lit hangout
And yet... Here they are.

 

[UsuallyPresent]

We exist, it is true
Here or there, or ev’rywhere
Whilst also online

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Online or offline
What does it matter as long
as you do exist?

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Existence? Huh? What?
Some claim made for reality?
We are all just nerves.

 

[Winter_Fare]

So many socks
The gift nobody asked for
Outrage multiplies

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Once, I sat down to
Write a haiku, but never
Got around to fin ...

 

[AlinaX]

ishing is an art
where brush strokes have neither start
nor much of an end

 

[MidnightRyder007]

Spent my 20's in Japan. Look Up Wabi Sabi.

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Existential thought
Dreaming as time flickers out
Wabi Sabi dies

 

[AlinaX]

the making of rules
to constrain lesser creatures
is sweet victory

 

[Voboy]

Writers probe. They dig.
To end, happily? The goal.
Poets? More clever.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Wabi-sabi this ...
and Wabi-sabi that ... when
is it wasabi?

 

[Winter_Fare]

Water in fissures
Welling up as it freezes
Breaking or making

 

[Voboy]

One or the other?
Destruction is creation.
To break is to make.

 

[Winter_Fare]

Ambiguity
Is my cheap cheat for pathos
In allegory
