Anatomical

Hearts are surprisingly bad

Gifts for Valentine's.


They also don't hold

As much candy as heart-shaped

Boxes. Go figure.

What is a human?

In the hearts of humankind,

Humanity dies.

Sometimes I feel like

I'm trying to catch time with

A butterfly net.

Okay, I thought maybe we can try some renga here. My 2 lines will be


And the cold wind brings nothing

But the snowflakes in my face.


Renga is made by multiple people. First one makes 3 lines, next one - 2 lines, then next one 3 lines again. Each 5 lines are supposed to complete themselves into one poem (tanka). This way renga is a chain of tanka where each part has a standalone, complete ideas and also forms a bridge to the part before it and the one after it. I wonder if anyone is interested in this kind of game. So, if you feel like into it, you are supposed to make next 3 lines that resonates with my 2. I will wright everything from the beginning to make it easier

Wondering if I will find

Unrelated to the long poem that’s going on:


I hear your voice, clear!

Your dystopian fiction

Is my reflection.

The wind is stirring

Emotions inside of me

And I need to piss

Response to A Haiku a Day 2024-02-27 22:38:48


There's a time to sow,

And a time to reap, but I

Just don't have the time.


When running ragged

Every single day, a nap

Would be so sublime.

It's raining tonight

And I might listen to some

Knytt Stories music

Lost luminary,

Akira Toriyama,

May you rest in peace.

Airpods are charging

Then what will I listen to?

I like weird people

Weirdness is like innocence

Once it's gone, it's gone

To far away now.

Jimmy Neutron's Ms. Fowl

Head filled to the brim

Thoughts almost ready to spill

A flowing river

I think this is my first time ever posting in the Writing forum, and the first haiku I've written since I was a kid

you deserve to die

raped at 4, haunted for life

no one hears you cry


as you reach for help

spirits drag you back to hell

blood is a vile smell


trauma will linger

for the rest of your damned life

just kill yourself now


many spirits are

waiting for you in the dark

gagging final breath


you are now at peace

from your body you are freed

you can't hurt again

Gleaming amber eyes

Soft black fur, warm to the touch

You are missed, my friend
