These are from a short collection of my haikus, I named it "Haikus- The Honeyed and the Horrific" Although they all adhere to the traditional sylable count and 3- line format, the themes are only serene in these first few. I also write of depression, the plight of veterans and miscarriage. I will be posting all bit by bit- I wanted to experiment with this form and go for the out-of the ordinary much like the poet Etheridge Knight who wrote haiku on some "different" topics.

bluish, rising- factories
on the horizon.

Green and yellow birds-
parakeets chirping gaily
thus, morning begins.

Amber sky at dusk
I still wait on my husband
what mood will he bring?
