Four Haiku

Ode to Coffee

Crisp earthy fragrance,
Jolt to dawning wakefulness;
Another coffee please.

Fracture

Sharp lightning torment,
Alabaster knitted sheath;
Unexpected fall.

CT

Cold unseeing eye,
Slender piercing icicle;
God’s chill voice thunders.

Ambulance

Sirens flashing bright;
Winter’s snowy eve broken
By cars entangled.
