Mists 2

Dawn flings a face All darkness flees; Birth of new day ~~~~~~~~~ That Old Man once thought: "Poetry is not viable..." Who can eat poems ~~~~~~~~~ In our twilight years Even time is suspended; Marionettes know best ~~~~~~~~~ Love is a good excuse When things go right; Consider the alternatives ~~~~~~~~~ In my house I live life brief; Time excavates my soul ~~~~~~~~~ Haiku soapbox styles Words in brief grief; Soon I run away ~~~~~~~~~ Words do not tell Of many things; Forbidden and forgotten ~~~~~~~~ My darling calls My name out loud; Dreamtime outbursts ~~~~~~~~~ Horrifying nightmare I struggle with despair; Awake to gratitude ~~~~~~~~~ Lines loiter here Linger with motives; Pregnant envoi ~~~~~~~~~ Senryu sensations Not much to say; Pickle me fancy love ~~~~~~~~~ Words line up Extravagantly economic; Profit and loss ~~~~~~~~~ Now at last Someone mimics a monkey; Is it strange then ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 10 November 2014 Singapore
