Three Haikus
The hole in the road,
going straight down to darkness
and into the unknown.
The water is cool
As I sit contemplating
to jump in or not.
Mirror, mirror bright
maybe I can catch your light
and harness your soul.
New self
He looked at her. Was she someone that he knew from his past?
He just couldn't get his head around it. She looked familiar,
yet not so familiar - with her flawless makeup and lovingly crafted hairdo.
He had to stare a few seconds more. Who was she?
The crows’ feet and laughter lines were there and her eyes twinkled with an
unknown naughtiness that would make any vicar blush.
He inhaled deeply, while snapping shut the lid of the gold-plated compact.
And, taking nervous steps in his comfortable court shoes, he launched into his new life; her new self.
