The black felt tip pen

Thunderstorm awake
blocking the torn bright red sun
cloudy wisper love

Snow is everywhere.
The floor and the walls so white,
the night sky so black.

|Two-line haiku?
|It cannot be permitted.
|Use a few of these.

|Easy translation,
|But the poem seems avant-garde.
|Refrigerator.

Rain tearing the walls.
Force is pushing against me.
Pulling sheets away.

The door bell ring rings
Get up to open the door
Unlock It, my mom

Sitting in the dark
I watch the moon and the stars
As they shine tonight

The dog chased the cat
See dog run around large tree
Dog took a long nap

Man, I hate Haiku.
It's ASKING for bad grammar.
Inglish errorz lots.

Ineptitude reigns.
Another failure to keep.
Their angst makes me laugh.

An un-dead geisha.
Creeping in the dark of night.
Dancing down the street.

Five syllables first.
Then seven must follow.
I want a sandwich.

The heart beats for life
do not damage or hurt it.
Don't give it away.

Allie is a beast
so kind and humble and sweet
so full of knowledge

Dreaming of the past
By the green of nature's youth
A lover's smile, warm.

Azmera Menase

The leaves are falling.
The smell of rotten pumpkins.
Fall is almost here.

The sun rose highly,
Shinning through the clear blue sky
At dusk it falls down.
