Untitled Haikus That Suggested Them Selves

Under dark blue skies

happy children played fun games.

Thunder cracked, bombs fell.

Living and dying.

 Juxtaposed realities:

The cradle and grave.

The skies were crying;

pecking birds flew to their nests.

Worms had a party.

War knocked at the door;

Peace answered:  No vacancies!

Hope held hands with faith.

State of the nation:

We watch a pilgrim’s progress;

Time clocks the future.

The cocoon opened;

The butterfly kissed the air.

The lizard feasted.

Painful time lags on;

Possibilities linger.

Doctors treat; God heals.
