cigarette butt
well squeezed, carmine lipsticked
enjoyed but oh so briefly
discarded in the gutter
smoking
mother earth

dark alley attack
or touching tenderly
two lovers
perhaps matter
simply wants to be
closer

from darkest hearts
a sombre river
flows
the modern slaver
their self obsessing photos
capturing your soul
whatever dubious honour
bought and sold
but oh, the horror

pretty plastic fish
escape from clutching primark soup

@MadKane
The difference between "need not rhyme" and "should not rhyme" seems to escape some people.
Sometimes I wonder if even asking a question about the rights and wrongs of haiku is like turning your glass over in a Glasgow pub.
-
the haiku prison
count, cut, season but not rhyme
i don't have time
for all this non
sense
quick - shall we escape ?

public as a school
of sharks on small fish feeding
thick as thieves
can you feel your future
tanking
what a wheeze
