Haiku Experiments

Sandcastle stands proud
On windswept shore, awaits tide,
By hands, discarded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you see it you
Will know it but by then it
Will be far too late.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The time of your voice
Strikes hard against my temples
Like lightning strikes tree.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are a parrot.
Brightly feathered, graceful winged-
No words of your own.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A stone cracked open
Reveals chasms of crystals
But is whole no more.
