Haiku

[Quadman2]

Internet

Hand covers the mouse
Nudging it into action
as the screen lights up.

Man, took it as a live being first read...then reality hit.

Guess, that means the metaphor worked, eh?

Q

 

[Quadman2]

Existence

Laundry list of life
Endless like the universe,
Constantly changing.
It's a futile exercise,
but it must be attempted.

A unique take on astronomy!


Q




TRUTH

Oft times this concept
lies hidden, among falsehoods,
lies, and deceptions!

Q

 

[Quadman2]

Haiku is more than is written, with only the imagination of the reader to fill in the missing words.

The structure is more awkward than it is proficient.


A random thought this day, eh?


Q

 

[Quadman2]

NOTHINGNESS

Something but nothing,
zero becomes no value
and it isn't there.

Uncaring

Car drives too slowly.
Drifts aimlessly between lanes
Windows iced over.
Driver hidden by the frost
Anonymously threatens.

Lost a neighbour, one street over, due to "straying on the road" couple of weeks back.

You do make your point, bv. Well!

Time

Old yearbook opened
Young, hopeful faces stare out.
Where are they all now?

Don't forget...those faces are staring back, and also wondering.

Year books do freeze time!

DUCKLING

Yellow, young, yearning,
to follow mother duck to
his first baptism.

Q

 

[tom3]

Stereo playing loudly
There is no one else around
TURN IT UP SOME

 

[Quadman2]

No reason to cut back on the amplitude...right!

Cool!


Q

TIME

Silent, searching sleuth,
always one step behind Death
never catching him,
due different masks this
dark character wears.

Missing two words, "to his" in the 2nd last line.

FRIENDS

Friends have you covered
twenty-four seven, also
twelve full months as well!

Q

ENEMIES

Enemies of your

in your time of need.

Neighbors

Always close at hand
Sometimes friendly, sometimes not
Fences seem to help.

Midnight

Few cars pass the house.
A dog bark breaks the silence.
Strange tree branch shadows
Dancing around the street lights.
Soft breath murmurs next to me.

 

[Te-Te]

Tribute to Jim.
Friends without faces
Silently disappearing
Another friend gone.

(RIP my friend )

So very true on those "fences"!

WOW! Great use of personification! Onomatopoeia ain't bad either!
