Haikooky- Haiku for laughter's sake

Monday, June 29, 2026

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

A thunderous crash,

followed by silence, silence,

then the siren's wail

Outside in sunshine,

I read poetry alone,

wishing she was here
