A golden morning
Warriors ride out to battle
The dragons await

I was inspired to write this Haiku because of this song.
I’ve been singing it all morning.
Enjoy.
Behind the black shades
Killer watches his victim
Waiting for his time
+
Down a long alley
She stumbles through the dark shade
Something follows her
+
A silver knife gleams
Precious flesh is slashed and stabbed
Death falls like a shade

A small birthday cake
Decorated with candles
Time to make a wish
+
Blushing bride and groom
Sharing a small piece of cake
On a happy day
+
She looked at the cake
Decided to cut a slice
It started to bleed

A white sandy beach
Palm tree providing cool shade
Water lapping smooth

Safely in her arms
Mother holds her young daughter
Comforts her dark fears

Great anticipation
Rare total solar eclipse
Day becomes the night

Are you guys excited for the eclipse today – 8/21/2017? Me, I honestly keep forgetting about it. It is a pretty cool thing to witness, but I’m so busy with life it just slips my mind. I thought I might write this Haiku today in order to celebrate this monumental moment. Are any of you doing anything special for it? And I hate to do this, but I have to. This song must be played loudly today. I truly do apologize. I really do. I still remember when this video used to play on MTV and other channels back in the day. I am getting old.
Taste of sweet honey
Dropped across your naked flesh
Pleasures exploding
+
Taste of hot coffee
Caffeinated rocket blast
Helps to start the day
+
Taste of human flesh
Monster feeding greedily
Upon its victim

Under a blue sky
Softly laying in the grass
Watching the white clouds
+
Under a night sky
Looking at all of the stars
Captured by beauty
+
Under a grey sky
Lover’s seeking protection
Inside a bus stop

At the school bus stop
Children gleefully laughing
Playing as they wait
+
On the red stop sign
A colorful butterfly
Resting for a spell
+
Just past the stop sign
Down an unused dead-end street
Sat the house of screams

An abandoned fort
A ghostly glowing soldier
Still standing his post
