    Whacking dissidents,
    The Power grew, haling the proles to
    Strive for naught.

    If I count correctly, you have 7 syllables at the word "the". But different people pronounce differently.

    Strive for naught
    Set your sights on nothing, friend--
    Never miss target...
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    never miss target
    always madam ballista
    silenced with a kiss
    se non e vero, e molto ben'trovato

    Silenced with a kiss
    Whelmed by a touch
    Embraced by a feeling obscure.


    'embraced by' or 'embraced with'?

    I'd lean towards WITH, but then that is me...

    Your poem is not exactly formatted to haiku (5-7-5 syllable structure), so I will proceed with the first line of your poem:

    Silenced with a kiss
    the harsh words died a quick death
    a fresh beginning
    Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
    ~Albert Einstein

    a fresh beginning

    Binned plastic wrapper
    sustenance from yesterday
    delightful fruit drinks...

    Delightful fruit drinks
    Shimmering in the sunlight,
    Drawing pleasant thoughts.
    As Kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame . . .


    Why disqualify the rush? I'm tabled. I'm tabled.

    drawing pleasant thoughts
    moonlight upon my paper
    shows everything white
    se non e vero, e molto ben'trovato

    Shows everything white
    The mountain covered in snow
    A glorious scene
    FRANCISCO
    For this relief much thanks: 'tis bitter cold,
    And I am sick at heart.

    children playing in my fields
    among wild flowers

    Among wild flowers
    A flower grew out of the blue
    Which reshaped the world!
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

    Which reshaped the world,
    sadly in need of repairs--
    what hath man tainted?
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Angles' wings spotted with black
    Charcoal grey feathers

    Charcoal grey feathers
    Wings aggressively beating
    Against autumn skies
    I try and just kick it but what can I do.
    We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
