…meanwhile, on a steet corner near you…It’s been one of those bizarre days! Forgive my tongue-in-cheek take. I just wish we could all love one another and wrap ourselves in some of that amazing grace.
I can spot them
a mile away…
the Thumpers…
afraid of their own
shadows. With quivering
smiles, huddled
in their safe
circles…feeble
minded faithless
fools given to
fits of hysteria,
convinced that
peril and ultimate
doom wait just
beyond the gates or
worse, just behind my
eyes. Yes, I can
spot them a mile
away and hear their
prayers for me…it’s
okay Thumpers…save
yourselves, I’m
content to stay lost!

Haiku Horizons presents us this week with the prompt: Sleep. Here are a few thoughts. Read other haiku or add your own HERE.
We say, “I’ve Lost Sleep.”
as if it’s a thing one finds
misplaced like car keys.
Sleepers do not dream.
They wait in obscurity
some dreamers to find.
To sleep anywhere…
Some find it to be a gift
Narcoleptics curse.

Did you know…
The trill of Chipping Sparrow is nearly twice as long as that of any other species, and this is a consistent and very useful clue. In addition, the overall quality of the sound is usually mechanical and rattling, due to the complexity of each individual phrase. – Source: Sibley Guides
This Haiku is in response to Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge. This week’s prompt words are: Trill & Final. Read other haiku or enter your own HERE.
Fair
Luna
hides behind
snow laden clouds
painting the night sky
in crystalline
luminous
dabs of
pink.
