Haiku Thursday

Just for my friend Marvin...

Realization

We burned hot and bright
Irrational thoughts and needs
Nothing gold can stay.

Cookies
A poor substitute
Chips Deluxe Chocolate Lovers
Not as good as you

Unsupervised
Alone in my room
Drinking wine from the bottle
The small, small bottle

Important Things About Me in Haiku
I
I read very fast
Sometimes a whole paragraph
My eyes absorb words

II
My Grandfather was
the youngest Texas Ranger
when he was a boy

III
I am not afraid
Of needles or giving blood
I give my own shots

IV
If I work at it
My handwriting is gorgeous
Normally I’m rushed

V
I just cannot wink
No matter how hard I try
And I don’t know why
