FIREWORKS

Magpie Tales is HERE


A BURNING DESIRE
(haiku)

Burning desire
Way back there my house on fire
Men shooting their guns.

I remember when
There was no fence here at all.
Men set posts at night.

Why this barby wire?
Keep bad men out--or me in?
Neither accomplished...

Those people back there
Have no clue whut's gonna happen
(Mountain will blow up...)

Explosives planted
Everywhere. Yes, I did it.
Fireworks at nine.

  8. I don't know if it was intentional, but the chopped-off head is very effective. Lots of haiku on this one but you do five! I like the second one.

  10. I like your Haiku and other poems. I'm not one for writing poetry but maybe later in life I'll come around to it.
