Haikooky- Haiku for laughter's sake

Saturday, June 27, 2026

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

Sun behind the trees,

it tries to reach through, touch me,

remind me it's here

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

To all the fathers

everywhere, for all your hard

work, you get a tie
