Haiku Time - Week 2 Poem(s)

Four Haiku for this cold, cold week

one small, snuffed out life
I held him as he faded
it wasn't enough

----

I grew this flower
planted it inside of me
the thorns cut me still

----

O come, o come now
you shouldn't make me wait
torture is no cure

----

she won't stay this way
this small, this bright, this trusting
my one tragedy

  1. jon stewart made a joke that his daughter wrote her first song when she told him "your kiss feel like punishment" (when he had a beard) - apparently I live in clinical land enough that I first thought of domestic violence.. and then I thought of poetry.. what a tragic and beautiful line.. thanks for taking this poetry challenge!!
