A Kahlil Gibran haiku

thought, a bird of space
unfolds its wings in cage of words
but cannot fly

Ian Row feat Kahlil Gibran
Words from Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, Penguin Arkana (1992), pg 78

Porn in the background
helps me think... get the words out
I'll get back to ya

crystal clear water
local pool, hardly a soul
early morning dip

ii.
there's rain on the way
mugs of cocoa, trashy books -
hibernation time!

Cathy Dineen

iii.
Dropping acid
would be simplier
on Fridays.

Karen McVean

iv.
how did we get here?
words, then war. now, an impasse
my turn to wait

Ian Row

v.
Showdown with old friend
In fact, not old and not friend
In fact not showdown

A Haiku for Terry

i heard that you sing
tonight your words are spoken
but i heard a song
