The Daily Dread



Calm before the storm
Enjoying the soft coolness
Of a caressing breeze



Hanging over all
The money shroud smothers truth
Gold calves aplenty



Abuse taught me to shroud intentions with indifference.



Caught the creep again
Court of paid for sycophants
Turn the other way



The shroud has been laid
Like a soft breeze corpse cover
Coolness and the Creep

The Daily Dread



Tears of joy I weep
As memories of you seep
Into dreams so deep



Ideological seep often leads to mission creep



Fireball in the east
Heliacal attraction
Guides another day



day to day view spew
time to put a halt to this
high tide of twaddle



heliacal force
puts a halt the high tide seep
moon dance surrenders

The Daily Dread



Enveloped in dusk
Evening Night Early morning
Sunrise finale



My sinister self only manifests from dusk to dawn.


Goad the gullible
Bang the terror timpani
Flock fleeced with dull shears



A long days journey
Swing into last call left them
Ripe for the picking


ripe nightshade slumber
vine swing or underground lurk
dusk bound terror traps


A.I. image generated from haiku text:
Goad the gullible
Bang the terror timpani 
Flock fleeced with dull shears 
Of a large timpani surrounded by a fleeced flock of abstract sheep

The Daily Dread



Sense all my haiku
Echo o'er the internet
Bouncing off bubbles



Our secret passions echo around our lives in our DMs



A caterpillar
Resolute life endeavour
Be the butterfly



As a Martian here
Landing in this weird strange time
I just have to ask
Is this what you all wanted?
Cause this is what you all got.



what I thought was my
inner butterfly flutter
was just an echo

The Daily Dread



A lack of vision
Leaves so many things unseen
The detail devil



Toys in the attic
Secreted cellar dwellers
Battlelines are drawn


different endeavours
pear or plum assignments can
go on to become
terribly shaped and gone wrong
or rise up to be raisin



things that go pear-shaped
in the dank cellar below
the obscene unseen

The Daily Dread



lacking energy
to try and find a mountain
in a haystack now




the best abyss time
the worst abyss time sushi
raw wrapped existence



I just peeked into the abyss and the abyss peeked back #NoPeeking



mountain comes to me
I go to the mountain or
walk with a mountain

The Daily Dread



Saucer reflections
Like pansy petals reveal
An alien face
On the prowl for more subjects
Suitable for abduction



Interstellar grail
The frisbee flying saucer
Is headed our way



In the here and now
Maliciousness on the prowl
In crappy cosplay



Riffle sidewalk leaves on barren tree lined streets for October night prowl




My how you have grown
She said with a breathy moan
Eye flutter koan

The Daily Dread



The rustle of petticoats is the real music of a debutante ball


Sisyphus pushing
No decline on the incline
Or lies will roll down


as the atoms bind
to rustle up new moon shine
it's white lightning time



falling asleep to
the rustle of electrons
atom to atom
