fear – MHaikuPoetry

Fair or Devious

Forged red at morning—

Conjures ominous warning—

Barring fairs ‘for dusk—

Thank you Susi for hosting!!

Old Growth

Below the forested canopy old mossy timber prevails above its own darkness, casting shadows on shadows, listing in subtle breezes, groaning beneath their own immensity

Faces

Facing life and death-

Worried reminders of pain-

Imprints our features-

The Slave Ship

Cold clad irons shackled—

Chains rattling through portholes—

Vanishing homeland—

Medieval Wind

Blackened hoards and crows

Caged panic attacks chilling

Cold ranks fear-knocking

Uncontrolled shivers

Hiding maddened whispers pray

For no ear to hear

Got My Reasons

Reason can answer-

Designed deceptivities-

Opulent excuse-

“Early night sky”

Outworn Welcome

Familiarity breeds-

Contempt and seeds of guile-

Slow cooked and seething-

Empty Ends

Ode to another-

Faithfully following one-

Fruitless endeavor-

“Venado y Pavo”

Startled Hiker

Adrenalin pounding-

Grouse erupting under foot-

And glide down yonder-

Empty Building (Triple)

Shadow chilled twilights-

Eeriness awaits stark rooms-

Flickers of past lives-

Chills from behind doors-

Flash digital memories-

Fleeting to recall-

Feelings from before-

Dimly lighted corridor-

Startled whispering-
