Too comfortable
With the false power of rage
Painful destruction
Rage

Tonight
Light has faded now
Vision obscured through darkness
Spring’s blossoms hidden
The Homeless Man
Sunny warmth flowing
A man is sleeping outdoors
This suburb changing
Petals of Spring
#Spring’s remnants
Flutter to the ground
Soon nothing left
Save pale, decaying
Petals
Soaring To Mountaintops…Metaphorically
Upon a mountain
Longing to soar like eagles
Common metaphors
I regularly engage with a Twitter account titled “Baffled“. They post a near-daily Haiku Challenge. Today’s was “any haiku you want as long as it includes ‘mountain'”. Here’s my addition. With a side of snark.

Loneliness
Loneliness withersÂ
Decaying dreams crumbling
Hope can save you yet
Restful Sunday
Today’s calmness comes
As lightly as these spring rains
Healing restfulness
Suburban Trials
I’m sitting, monk – like
Reading poets long silent
Chainsaw now raging
Strange Thing, Love
Love is everything
Unconditional, power
All else is empty

Sunrise Meditation
Laying here
Sun not yet risen
Quietude dominates.Â
Bushes outside
This window, soon
Bursting with the
Songs from vigorous
Birds. Oblivious
To their beauty.
They hear stories
Loneliness, violence,
Domination, love and death.
Songs that change daily
Yet remain constant.
Quietude vanishes into life.Â
