Haiku of Hate in Triplicate

Tuesday, March 16, 2004

Hope froze comatosed;

Happiness skipp'd a heartbeat,
Hardness rush'd right in.

Aching men perish;

Avarice could claim no more,
Angels fallen ill.

Time to change the course;

Taking aim with arrow poised,
Tipp'd emotions raw

Ere in times like these;

Earth has sorrows scarely heal'd,
Echos hush'd in screams!

Cynth'ya,

Your serious side is as polished and effective as your works of humor, though even they mostly have a serious subtext. You have captured the helplessness and horror that seems inherent in this 21st century.

Dan S.
