haiku/senryu
- hover text does not appear on mobile devices ☹
The beer bottle lies
drained and dry, stepfather's hand
firm around its neck.
Jumping up and down
toddlers two and fifty-two
laughing out too loud.
In uniform disguised
wearing vacant eyes
left family and humanity
a million miles away.
My daughter swings high
and etches a perfect smile
on an imperfect sky.
Aguas azules
wash away my blues, leave me
cleansed and renewed.
you drive fifty miles
to an empty smile you swear
will surely fill you.
pink petals unfold
reveal the morning dew
spring Rose awakens me
