Haikooky- Haiku for laughter's sake

Thursday, July 2, 2026

A box of rusty

nails, dusty in the garage,

waiting their purpose

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
