cat and mind wander
both growling on an old fence
all three should be fixed
A Long Twisted Haiku
Sort:
Tossed and tangled sheets
Sleeping solo in double bed
Long and lonely nights.
(D, your poem made me sad, remembering some of the nights I've spent when I was un-able to turn off my mind and sleep. Writch's made me laugh . . .)
Haikus are short, sure,
But can have the same beauty
Of lengthy poems.
Sadsongster, I am sorry my poem made you sad. It's not really sad but just, I guess, pragmatic. Wow! Think what kind of poems I would write if I weren't on anti-depressants! lol
an eye in a box
tears up with sinful laughter
but hides saintly fears
fashioned human clay
fired in kilns of martyrs
hold divine beauty
ewww...I like that! I am inadvertently and/or subconsciously saying that I feel boxed in...? That's Rich! 
unexplainable
mustard seeds sowed in a field
will shelter song birds
When evil expands
Its holdings across the world,
Righteousness resists.

try more imagery, less abstraction...
choking vines and weeds
wilt under the glory of
the valley lily
The poor light bulb dies
As the cruel hand cuts off
Its source of power.
A Long Twisted Haiku--
I hug my pillow
at night and think about you,
wondering if we
will ever be face to face.
It is good to live--
The internet blows my mind;
Connections with words
stealing a mental embrace.
I watch my cat fight
outside in the morning light.
She swishes her tail,
growling and lunging at other.
Sidetracked by A-Team--
Nostalgia from my past life
washes through my brain.
Did those days ever exist?
