“Haikus with Rules”



 

Daughter, Mother, Wife,   
Sister, Friend—a collection     
of masks worn daily   

 
Imagination   
renews me like Dawn’s fresh breath   
Inhale, Exhale—ahhhh   

 
I am a cynic   
words on the tip of my tongue   
sharp as a razor   

 
We dream together
our interwoven fibers 
clothe and protect us  

 
No fairness in Life   
Just Fate and Chaos dancing   
Among Night’s shadows   

 
Constantly caring   
Silently sublimating   
self—piling regrets     

 
Distilling my thoughts   
Into crystal drops  of Truth—   
I write, write, write, write
