Poems: Haikus and Limericks

...Haikus...

Spring

Birds sing, light of wing,

Flowers bloom in milky sun…

Spring returns at last.

Rain

Fresh tears cascading,

Dancing down, in perfection…

Washing the earth clean.

Despair

Icy, harsh, hopeless,

Falling in the pit, ones mind…

All is lost, and ends.

Voices

Whose faces hold guile?

And murmur, behind your back?

Where will the knife rest?

O.C.D.

Crooked, wrong, change it,

The stain of imperfection,

Torments sanity.

Bird

Light, swift, beautiful,

Dreaming of leafy dwellings,

Forever flying.

...Limericks...

The Cat and his Wonderful Hat

There once was a bright orange cat,

Who loved his tall velvet red hat.

The contrast was bad,

But the cat wasn’t sad,

Why would a cat care about that?

Wishful

She’s sad and there’s nothing I can say.

To make her feel better today.

It would make me happy to no end,

To cheer up my poor friend,

But it seems there’s really no way.
