He was and is a favorite musician of mine. I have wished the same thing. That there wasn't injustice in the world, that there wasn't cruelty and hurt. But if you really think about it, being unaware/simple comes with a price whether the person knows it or not.

Haiku #270

rancid breath I fear
warming the nape of my neck
vampire's next meal

Haiku #269

apples, pumpkins, spice
cooler days and falling leaves
ease us to winter.

#7syllablesentence #speak

Speak to the trees, they won't leave.

(It's supposed to be funny, but I have a weird sense of humor sorry.)

#vss365 #unearthly

An unearthly wail pierced the night as the young woman cradled the mangled flesh and bones in her arms. Her tears drenched her creation."Breath," she realized in a moment of genius. She clamped her mouth over the creature's mouth. That is the moment she became Mother of Monsters.

Haiku #267

Leaves leisurely fall
Slowly descend to the ground
Seek their final rest.

This one needs more work. Will have to come back to it.

Haiku #268

Overwhelmed zombie
Blast of healthy heartbeats
Pounding in his ears

#haikuhorrorprompt #blast #halloween #zombie #haiku #senryu #poem #poetry

Chaotic evil and not ashamed to admit it.

#vss365 #piranhas

If only I were brave. Maybe as brave as a goldfish that thought it was a piranha. Now that I think more about it, perhaps it's better I'm not.

#7syllablesentence #dirge

Her happy songs sound like dirges.

(Poor nonexistent woman.)

Haiku #266

desolate winds blow
harsh upon my weary soul
amplify my gloom

#Haikufeels #desolate #haiku #senryu #poem #poetry

Haiku #265

It's time to harvest
gather squash, apples, pumpkins
crunch! crack! walnut shells!

#dailyhaikuprompt #crack #haiku #senryu #poem #poetry

Haiku #263

lumen of your soul
cocoons me in gentle warmth
power of angels.

Haiku # 259

Quilt sewn by fingers
long gone, but not forgotten
handed down relic.

#Haikufeels #relic #haiku #senryu #poem #poetry

Haiku #258

Seek the natural things
Drink the water, breathe the air
Avoid cyber trucks.

(In my opinion, not the prettiest vehicle.)

Haiku #257

Tumor in his spine
an ineffable silence
Still time does not slow.

#7syllablesentence #scythe

The old scythe hung in the barn.

Thanks, I need to do more meditation, for sure. BTW, I also play the uke (poorly) I have a tenor. I need to get it out again, thanks for the reminder!

Haiku #256

Noticing the ground
lit in dappled dancing orbs
their last summer dance.

Haiku #255

Home is not the same
my eyes glance at the corner
.... to the empty chair.

#Haikufeels. #home. #haiku #senryu #poem #poetry

Haiku #254

Ink stained fingers write
deep into the listless night
thoughts before they fade.

#7Syllablesentence #dove

When doves cry I think of Prince.

My mum's during their second bloom this year.

#7syllablesentence #charm

My cats charm me by purring.

Absolutely! Good work!

Haiku #253

Quiet, close the door.
Less noise, less stress... everything.
Oh agony! Too much!

#Haikufeels #agony #haiku. #senryu. #poem. #poetry

Haiku #251

No somber colors
adorn the oak trees above
the still pond waters

Haiku #250

The First Amendment
sunk by a heavy anchor
cast by vengeful men.

#poem. #haiku. #senryu

I've done counseling and am on meds.

I haven't written for about a month, sometimes I have this thing where I shut down, anxiety or depression. So I am forcing myself to write and do things on my to-do list rather than doom watching news.

If you do the shutdown thing let me know how you get yourself out of it. I'm an INFP.
