Haiku for You

[pieces o nine]

Withers now too soon.


#   #   #   #   #   #   #   #   


So many movies
Yet "nothing" on shelves to watch

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

too particular

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

spring has sprung, today
next week:  winter's back-- cold rain

[Opsa]

After that: summer!


=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=


The backlit tulips
look like lanterns at sunset

[pieces o nine]

sad vigil tonight.

.   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .


What kind of person
likes to kill and maim others

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

desperate in pain?

*******************************

nation mourns the dead
senseless violence, unleashed

[Opsa]

Let the light return.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Together we will
overcome the madman's hell

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

compassion, not hate

******************************

the truth can be hard
but some prefer the lie

[pieces o nine]

it takes less courage.

Watching Boston news:
so many people relieved

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

getting on with life

Keep away, Jack Frost!


@@@@@@@@@@@@


I await the warmth
of May sunshine on my back

[pieces o nine]

Good thing you're not here.


What fresh hell is this?
Ten more inches of wet snow!

[Opsa]

Say it isn't so!

Do not lose your hope
the weather will change again

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

raining and forty

yesterday, too hot
today-- rain, rain, too cold

[pieces o nine]

tomorrow, more snow?


*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

Snow is melting now
grudgingly, but melting still

[Opsa]

Tootle-oo, Frosty!

#%#%#%#%#%#%

Suddenly the trees
on the hills have a green haze
