The tiny flame danced. "Fly, little one. Time to grow." He threw the bottle. #haiku #senryu

They watched the stars fall Soon, the darkness was complete The nightmares had won #haiku #senryu

Music played aloud He thought it was his theme song Then it went minor #haiku #senryu

Zombies wanted brains Her ex wanted her body She chose the zombies #haiku #senryu

The blade cut cleanly His blood spurted everywhere The demon knelt down #haiku #senryu

They said he was mad. Angry or was he insane? They found out too late. #haiku #senryu

Slice and dice your fears Dive deep into your dreams but... Watch out for Freddie! #haiku #senryu

She unsheathed her sword They wanted the monster dead She would make them pay #haiku #senryu

She looked at the hole Six feet of pure paradise She lowered the corpse #haiku #senryu

She turned off the lights The time for thinking was done Yet she feared the dreams #haiku #senryu

The words tumbled out. What do you mean I can’t go? The car was silent. #haiku #senryu

Green fades into red Warm weather sets into fall The frost starts to rise #haiku

They are excited It is almost scary month The monsters rejoiced #haiku #senryu

She went back in time. He wondered what she would change. The machine vanished #haiku #senryu

Whose side is she on? She walked away from the crowd. They would never know. #haiku #senryu

Echoes of sunlight Paint twilight vibrant purple The perfect encore #haiku

Busking for belief In a crowded cathedral Her tip jar empty #haiku #senryu

Searching through Porches Trying to find the best one He would never have #haiku #senryu

She hugged the darkness Felt it melt in her embrace It needed her love ##haiku #senryu

Reading writing tips They say to kill your darlings His wife was surprised #hiaku #senryu

The night rained darkness Collecting in deep puddles Drowning the light there #haiku

He distilled his words Removed the watery ones The rest packed a punch #haiku #senryu

A cascade of words None of them go together But he persevered #haiku #senryu

He was a prophet Promised the killing chill comes The trees ignored him #haiku #senryu

What a great day for a ride! #cycling #smilesformiles Check out this Flyover of my ride on Strava. strava.app.link/D5c4RJWKIWb

Cool, crisp, cotton sheets A paradise of slumber And yet I resist #haiku #senryu

Floating through sunlight Pondering summer's demise Bumblebee problems #haiku

Open your eyes wide In your world of black and white Embrace the spectrum #haiku #senryu

The dabbling wind Played with her long auburn hair He was so jealous #haiku #senryu

Sometimes you just know Other times it's not as clear But still you go on #haiku #senryu

Blushing foliage Worried about undressing With peepers watching #haiku

He wrote love letters Not that he had a sweetheart He just needed to #haiku #senryu

Rebuilding futures Out of carcasses of dreams Editing is hard #haiku #senryu

Jack O Lantern moon Signals summer's status change Orders PSL #haiku

Working with constraints Hard geometry lessons Wish I could warp space #haiku #senryu #FTC

She wanted a win Life kept getting in the way Life is quite the jerk #haiku #senryu

The dark clouds moved in Crying large, ugly, cold tears Dampening the mood #haiku

The tide remembers Crashing to where it once roamed Exhausted, it leaves #haiku

The computer crashed It had tried to do too much Simulated life #haiku #senryu

The whisps of lost souls Congealing in the cold air The hunting begins #haiku #senryu

Everything's a game They say it's how you play it Really, it's the cost #haiku #senryu

Time dribbled along Puddles of it left behind Where youth splashed away #haiku #senryu

He picked up the axe Sometimes you had to die hard The monster chuckled #haiku #senryu

Carving out his thoughts Removing what's not needed Leaving this haiku #haiku #senryu

Sunshine studded skies Bedazzling blue bastions Summertime supreme #haiku

His mind was cluttered. He wanted to clean it up. What should he throw out? #haiku #senryu

She's chasing her dreams They promise her everything She cuts off their lies #haiku #senryu

It's time to begin The semester starts today Teaching for the win #haiku #senryu

An ant conga line Dancing to the picnic beats Searching for the treats #haiku

Wow! If I had an extra hour of daylight I would have pushed for 200km, but 110 miles is the farthest I’ve done in a day. Now to eat dinner and start the recovery phase. #cycling #smilesformiles Check out this Flyover of my ride on Strava. strava.app.link/glesoYi04Vb
