Haiku - First Set (Poetry - Haiku)

Strange, I feel these days,
My disconnection grows:
I wish I could sleep.

Cherry blossoms fall,
Obscuring the frozen ground-
Would they be so kind?

Rain filters the sky
Through a graying lens of clouds
Spring waits patiently.

Neo’s dilemma
Is a laughable display:
Take both pills at once!

Death Beaver rages
Why is life so endless?
Killing takes all day.

Never is so long;
But perhaps, not long enough
To give up on you.
*(this was the original inspiration for 'Never Everending')

A dark penumbra
of loathing, waits patiently
New prey will come soon.

One, toe, tree, fo’, five:
The Dope Man talks in Jive,
All the good day long.

Ties choke off the screams
Of souls, tortured to their deaths:
In Office We Trust.

Martians, coming here;
Would cry aloud in their glee:
They’ve conquered themselves!

Smokers cough their last-
dying in the midst of life,
for nothing at all.

Dancing with my dreams,
I waltz to the tune inside;
And don’t miss a beat.

In the beginning
I was wrong: But not so much
As I am right now.

Whiskey calls to me
In songs I cannot silence;
in dreams I can’t end.
