5 Haiku

Wrote some haiku for my Writing Poetry class a while ago. I'm pretty fond of them, so you can read them too. They are all separate:

Gods live among us

and their celestial bodies

are the traffic lights.


You slow dance throughout

the day— jacket on and off,

caressed by the cold.


I hum to the sound

of legs grinding together 

in corduroy pants.


Taste the remnants of

your cigarette on my tongue.

“Do you have a light?”


When the heat death comes,

what’s left of humans will be

ash and nude drawings.

    1. Thank you! I like when haiku tell a little snapshot story. I also love to focus on the mundane and overlooked.
