TWO HAIKUS
NO ESCAPE[/font]
Once green leaves plummet
desiccated of purpose
thus all wilts and dies[/font]
NIGHT SHIFT[/font]
Skeletal trees shake
headstones topple and in two break
dirt flies the dead rise[/font]

Thank you Tommie! I'm usually used to giving tingles so this is quite a departure for me :)

I like the second one best. Nothing like a midnight cemetery with ancient gravestones and trees extending their branches in welcome. Stone angels that will have nothing to do with me when I waken. Memento mori...

Thank you Crow! For me, the Dr. Who weeping angels episodes ruined angelic statuary for life. These pieces are a departure from my steamy stuff...they were fun to write. Now I expect to read two from you.

Thank you Zazzles! I too love haiku. It is, in my estimation, one of the most powerful forms of poetry...to have great impact using just 17 syllables is an amazing thing.

Thank you Katja. I think too often about death...I write so much erotic because I feel so alive when I do so...in the words of Marvin Gaye, "Sexual Healing." :)
