FAILED HAIKU #80 August 2022

 both parents were snakes cracked eggs

 

muddy grave

the falling rose petal

in a widow's eyes

 

day moon

regrets in slippers

under the bed

Failed Haiku #78, June 2022 (The food issue)

if I can’t kill it
I can’t eat it
first day of spring


her tongue
on my tongue
ice-cream


dinner date
the single mum’s
leaking breast

Frameless Sky Issue 16, June 2022

 

bombed farms
the tank towed away
by a tractor




abandoned tank
bogged in a cornfield
the elderly woman
shooting a Russian soldier
with insults

Failed Haiku Issue 76 April 2022

Editor: Mike Rehling




end of holidays still on holiday

first of April

a bouquet the colour

of guilt

restrictions ease

surrounding houses

creep closer

mountain retreat

I receive a postcard

of a molehill

words with friends

a triple word score

with basho

                              flat champagne...

                              on midnight he kisses

                              her photo

                                                                                     again he falls

                                                                                    for a woman in pain
