Haikooky- Haiku for laughter's sake

Wednesday, July 1, 2026

She painted the cow

skull bright, bold colors, giving

it another life

Reading on the deck

a few hours after work,

still a day well spent

Even with sunblock,

her left shoulder burns bright red,

the one place she missed

The wreath's on the door

late into April; with him

gone, she can't reach it

-----------------------------

He is still alive,

still breathing, but parts of him

are already gone

It's Wes' birthday:

For a present, you should give

him some sarcasm

As he removes the

bulletproof vest, he exhales.

It has done its job

He writes his haiku,

limericks and short poems,

while she lives an ode
