Haiku — The Second Line

 

The magic, my dear

Embrace that which you most fear

Make fear impotent

 

*************************

 

A wayward sparkle

Wisdom and trouble combined

Brilliant gleams unleashed

 

*************************

 

Centered in my breath

I lose my concentration

Halitosis lives

 

*************************

 

A humorless death

Wrinkled and dry and angry

Scornful dust devil

 

*************************

 

Tyrant of my mind

Chattering like a small child

Hungry and sleepy

 

*************************

 

Clear as day I see

Clouds moving in from the west

Gath’ring momentum

 

*************************

 

Streaming consciousness

Between the lines of insane

Explosive head rush
