Geisha Face

Samurai snowflakes
bird song slice through frigid air
light-hearted, the moon

~~~~~

poet code-talkers
running like fine race horses
speaking many tongues

~~~~~

never the same leaf
blossoms, silent the cherry
everything is light

~~~~~

golden calf is living
high off low economy,
rich get richer still

~~~~~~

there are debts to pay
Lucifer comes collecting,
what is left behind?

Good to see I'm not the only one who tends to write Haiku in series lol. I like the way you switched to Senryu toward the end................stan

Ross, I love what you did! I'll have to add that to it. Good to see you again!

Ian, I'm not sure where or how to post it, I give you permission if you want to! (And thank you!)

Stan, Haiku/Senryu is like M'M's, you can't have just one. Or is that Lay's chips? Lol.

Nice to see you guys.
