Because Haiku are only three lines long, I decided to just put them all in a list, with the newer ones (obviously) at the end.


poised and delicate
the small, hidden violets
cautiously peer out.

struggling to keep eyes
open. falling asleep
to the hum of florescent lights.

watching an old
home movie. wondering
where it all went.

**This next Haiku's lines can be put into any order and it still makes sense. It was a happy accident.

where do the memories go?
washed away by time
in eternity they wait.

watching the high tide
in, out, in, out, in and out
making sea glass smooth

alone in a quiet room
listening to the world outside
wondering what it's like.

he watches her longingly
and tries to remember
why things changed and what went wrong.

sad memories juxtaposed
with those of happier times
make the heart heavy with sorrow

bad memories changed
to bittersweet washed away to good
by time, absence and longing.

listening to song words
applying recycled clichés
to my life, and letting tears come.

band of silver on my toe
dolphins swimming
incessantly

delicate and thin
and easily destroyed
a spider's work is never done.
