Five Haikus in Five Minutes

Broken nails dig in

Fingers entwine in frayed skin

Forever, hold on

*

So this is true pow’r

Light, sight, and sound array now

All under my feet

*

Don’t discount the young

The wide eyes of innocence

May just teach the most

*

Wisdom of the owl

Peace beyond the butterfly

The deep wants of man

*

Flies serenading

Then the sound of wings do freeze

Stagnant thoughts erupt
