Did I see the deer?

Did I not see the road curve?

Did I see the car?

Moon lander impacts

Pilot groans – bladder says “Hi!”

One small wait for man

I send my Haiku

Into the digital void

Silence is assured

I send my Haiku

Into the digital void

Silence is assured

I touch her soft cheek

A caress with fingertips –

Tracing morning tears

I touch her soft cheek

A caress with fingertips –

Tracing morning tears

I look up at the Moon.
Strangely, I don't hear anything.
It's clearly there, but not making a sound.
Chilling.

I kissed the Moon once.
Its grit sticking to my lips.
It tasted like an exploding cigar.
Of ashes and atonement.

I won't do that again.
I have enough to atone for already.

Mourning Moon –

Paywall

I went to the corner store to get the paper,
When I didn't have a dime.
Now the paper costs a quarter.
I pay the price for words anyway —how cheap.
No wonder poets don't make money.

I remember when the paywall was a money box.
I either bought the paper or I didn't—simple as that.
I knew where I stood.
Money or lack of it meant ignorance either way.
Not like I had a choice.

Oh, Magic Eightball

Reveal my destiny!

Ask again later

Oh, Magic Eightball

Reveal my destiny!

Ask again later

We shout at the wind

Useless words have their effect

We all hear – nothing
