Haiku Of My Heart

Haiku
5/7/5

1: Emotion

I want to haul out/
From hollow mines in our hearts/
This rare ore; emotion.

2: Self

Wearing heavy coats/
Stops shivers from the cold, though/
Winter howls within.

3: Inevitable Sequence

Silence in the land/
'Till leaves strike the ground in fall/
Winter hears it's call.

4: Lack Of Spirit

Church bell chimed at noon/
I walked in calm procession/
But heard nothing new.

5: Beauty Turns Tragic

Watched bright leaves float down/
Hungry caterpillars wait/
Watched leaves fall and die.

6: Pondered Death

Wondered what death was/
'Till I sat beside sinking tombs/
Into the earth consumed.

7: Man's Construct

Lovely night-sky stars,
Shine upon man's crusted works,
Littering his earth.

8: Day's Temporal Victory

First gleam of dawn lunged,
Bravely at the night and won,
Vanquished for a while,
