Ten Haikus

From prompts by random word generators...


AIRSICKNESS


Head is in the clouds

But then feet begin to float

Airsickness ensues



BARE


To feel cold or warm

when gaze or word hits you

the mind must be bare



PRICELESS


Character, health, love,

imagination, good taste

time, God, all priceless



#HOME


Poisonous traits seen

after online exposure

Time for a detox



TIME


Time makes towers tilt

Flowers wilt and leaves fall

But then new ones bloom



PERSPECTIVE


A mid-life crisis

"Half-time, but play is still on."

Hero's perspective



HANGRY


When 'friends' 'share' my food

and then there is less for me

I get all hangry



TRUE-BLUE


Speak sweet when you can

acerbic fails litmus test

True-blue may turn red


Astaxanthin freed

from crustacyanin's embrace

True - blue crabs cooked red



SCUTTLEBUTT


Don't engage assholes

They fight and debate bad, and

scoot and scuttlebutt

Music: 2 minute verses

 It can be a single note, a chord or a riff

An original symphony or an evergreen lick

But if of a soul's fragrance you get a whiff

on hearing it, then you just heard music.

Blue Moon: 2 minute verses

It's been ages since we met, you say

days and months have passed on by

I'm confused as it was just yesterday

that I looked in on you and said hi


You've grown and got older, that's true

And before I see you again, you'll die

Your time's human, and I'm a moon blue

You're a blue moon too for the mayfly

Off colour: Limericks

An artist with an a bass that was class

Inundated with offers from the mass

Fanbois and girls galore

Were always wanting more

Now one was hungrily eyeing his ass...



Childhood, time for friendship

We were golden, we were hip

But then a painful memory

Comes back to haunt thee

Getting the tip stuck in the zip



Another person from Malappuram

Was the mafia's most liked chum

He was almost legendary

In how he channeled his ki

To smuggle big gold bars up his bum
