Haiku time

Simon Elliott

Fascist water(464)
 Mitford was white
 On tap at the eagle´s
 her stubborn heart

 Corruption(464)
 Corrupt get rich
 Selling future progress
 Rich poverty

 Gossip
 Words find lost lips
 Lucky hearsay dip´s speak
 Behind back quips peak.

 Truth
 I had the truth
 curved it almost snapped it
 shaping a lie

 Lie
 I had a lie
 Bent it almost broke it
 Shaping the truth

 Lecture(575)
 Numb bum and sprained brain
 Ears are lent and notes are scribbled
 Synapses quibble

 Confession
 Now speak in the box
 Guilt butterflies in a cage
 Cocoon cut exposed

 p*rn
 All over her face
 Sigh, moan, whinge, murmur, scream, wheeze
 Creme, smile for the cam.

Always in close proximity to nature and poetry. I´ve written since I was sixteen now I am 31. I aim to open people´s eyes with my poetry. I aim to entertain and also to provoke reactions. If I can do any of these things- I think the hours spent writing will all be worth it. more…
