I'm continuing my haiku story based on Poetic Asides Poem-A-Day prompts.
Today's prompt is here.
Eleven days, eleven haiku.
beyond the welkin
the commute is quick
one giant leap for mankind
for angel one step
the task is simple
persuade men to be happy
that's what angels do
since the creation
happiness has been men's foe
men prefer ruin
men long for passion
harmony unsettles them
men would rather burn
men inhale cities
drink beneath the rural moon
on the airplane wings
ever amateur
created in God's image
hopelessly human
torment their lovers
dance themselves to destruction
ever lonely men
finding no refuge
men cry when they see the Pope
vagabond pilgrims
empires rise and fall
look back foresee the future
humans do not change
men bend their beliefs
divide sex and sentiment
still believe in love
To be continued tomorrow...
Live for the Love of it,
The Happy Amateur
Today's prompt is here.
Eleven days, eleven haiku.
beyond the welkin
a sleepy angel awakes
off to work wings brushedthe commute is quick
one giant leap for mankind
for angel one step
the task is simple
persuade men to be happy
that's what angels do
since the creation
happiness has been men's foe
men prefer ruin
men long for passion
harmony unsettles them
men would rather burn
men inhale cities
drink beneath the rural moon
on the airplane wings
ever amateur
created in God's image
hopelessly human
torment their lovers
dance themselves to destruction
ever lonely men
finding no refuge
men cry when they see the Pope
vagabond pilgrims
empires rise and fall
look back foresee the future
humans do not change
men bend their beliefs
divide sex and sentiment
still believe in love
To be continued tomorrow...
