Tirbute to a Friend (Haiku)

The curtain is closed
The final bow is taken
The audience applauds

Rest in peace play mate
You gave us what we wanted
All of what you had

For this we're grateful
To the world you brought some joy
Standing ovation

Who's Kidding Who (Haiku)

I am who I am
I want to be for others
I try to be that

However, I can't
Even though I think I am
Only I am fooled

I may as well be
He who I already am
Genuinely me

I am who I am
Why would I want to change that
Even if I could

That Guilty Feeling (Haiku)

Me thinking it's me.
Why aren't you speaking to me?
Was it something I said?

The other:
I am involved with others
Your not my only.

Thanks for getting back.
Not yet sighing in relief;
How are things going?

Then conversation
Eases the guilty feeling
And peace is restored.

When the problem's real
No contact's a remedy.
Time heals all the wounds.

Emotional wounds
When not deep can heal quickly
Except for scarring.

Ah! Sweet Mystery (Haiku)

We read every day
In the obituaries
Of a person's death.

All who've lived 'til now
Have finished their time on Earth
And now they are dead.

Mysteriously
There are some fundamentals.
Truth is.  Life goes on.

My Friends (Haiku)

Not how I see me
It's how I see you see me
I live up to that

Why You Didn't Hear (Haiku)

Many things happen
Very few are reported
But happen they do

Thank goodness for that
Because temptation happens
We seem to succumb

There is an angel
Keeping us out of the news
He carries a shroud

Reporters arrive
Shroud in place a gap opens
Never in the news

No angel, the news
Angels are from what we do
They give back to us
