Non sequitur haikus

[electrycmonk]

They piled on “sugar”
that sweetness fermented sour;
Slowly through decades
1/3

 

[electrycmonk]

It’s hard to swallow,
drinking it awhile, we have;
sickening to see?

[electrycmonk]

Now You’ve had a sip
from Liberties bitter Tea
Can you see it now?
3/3

(My reply in theme)
Fabulous icon
what surfaces in your mind?
stories? Care to share?

 

[MROO]

Just like “K through 12”
follow “the click” secretly;
In school - you avoid!

Hearts & minds have been
In quiet desperation,
F*E*A*R still hold their necks

Blindly saving face
or so they think - to themselves?
“I wasn’t suckered.”

History takes time
filtered through the lens “hindsight”;
Truth needs band-aids

These days, Truth does not
need band-aids. It requires a
tourniquet, tied TIGHT!

 

[electrycmonk]

These days, Truth does not
need band-aids. It requires a
tourniquet, tied TIGHT!

Merely a flesh wound-
I will fight you with my nub;
What are you, chicken?

Come back here and fight,
A tourniquet at the neck;
Will solve your problem.

#Grateful, I sure am
Prefer some more than others;
#Memories do this

Love them any less?
Nope, just closer to a few;
Many have passed on

Closeness in the heart
even though they’re miles away
this is just #MyLife

(My reply)
Fixing a typo
Isn’t always that easy
Serendipity

‘Net’s eaten mine too
Over 30 yrs I’ve felt
this “type” of weirdness

I expect no less
than for it to continue
beyond my lifetime

Insomnia is
for lack of more eloquence
hard pill to swallow

Trust me, I did try
I tried harder than you know.
Yet you don't see me.

It will be alright
Someday, but not this moment.
Right now my heart hurts.

I think this is wrong
Not how it's supposed to be
This world can be cruel.

(tanka - 5,7,5,7,5)
And I'm well aware
I think too much about you.
But feeling the ache
Is much better than nothing.
I won't be empty.
