Haiku Evolution Six

Post

Early spring downpour.
Mailwoman in Pith Helmet.
Deception prevails.

Salty

Sprinkling salt on food,
The top comes off, food ruined.
Scraping food in trash.

Petrol

Waiting in long line.
No fuel left for the pilgrims.
Dollar-fifty gas.

Mute Elation

I left my girlfriend.
Her love never ends, *sighing*,
Self inflicted pain.

Boogieman

Blue man on red bike,
He listens to his earphones.
I nearly hit him.

Portos

Bright red brakelights glare.
I see double, I'm too close.
Red lights turn to blue.

Earthmover

Crane on riverbank,
Two hundred foot black lattice.
Sun interrupted.

Delusional

Reality shifts.
I believe my truths are wrong.
Yellow Jujyfruits.

Sign

Arrow blinks merge left,
Lightning strikes behind the sign.
Synchronized flashing.
