Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

useless as pining
stares out a window thinking
thoughts of nothingness

Thoughts of nothingness
A crow laughs at a magpie
As death sneers at theft

As death sneers at theft
Doesn't see the irony
Death himself a thief

Death himself a thief
Not enough hugs from mommy
Rebel with a cloak

Rebel with a cloak
and single-minded purpose.
The tools of his trade.

The tools of his trade
Vicious as a reptile
Indiscriminate

Indiscriminate
All choke and drown together
Fish out of water

Fish out of water
Thumping itself on the pier
It's suffocating

It's suffocating
Watch as it's life slips away
It knows fear too late

It knows fear too late
Tried to leap up to the light
Never shoud have jumped

never should have jumped
but hindsight is always
too clear for comfort

Too clear for comfort
Water is too clean to drink
I can't swim in it

I can't swim in it
This ranch dressing has curdled
Must eat a way out

Must eat a way out
Chocolate is so yummy
And so are muffins

And so are muffins
Sleeping in warm ovens now
Suffocating beds.
