Some Weird Haiku’s from Charles

October 3, 2017 by szachik@pvs.org 4 Comments

By Charles Schnell

 

It’s Funny

It is funny how

We can be so similar

And not realize it.

 

Freedom

Freedom is what we

Yearn, Search, and Fight for, but we

Can’t find it alone.

 

Not What You Wished For

This is not what you

Wished for, but it’s what you got;

Thus it’s meant for you.

 

Excitement

I sit atop the

Mountain, and the world is vast,

Holding all futures.

 

Conflict

Stop the fighting; Stop!

The world is pretty, and nature

Is calling for peace.

 

These Rules

These rules, these rules, These

Rules cannot break us; we will

Stand and live and win.

 

Life Goes On

Sometimes, the world stops.

We feel we don’t know a thing,

But, we keep going.

 

Temporary

Everything in this

World is not everlasting;

Your pain will end soon.

 

Yugen

An awareness of

The universe too deep for

Words; I love Yugen.

 

No Sense

These poems do not

Make any sense, but, who knew

I would like haikus?

    Who would have thought that
    combinations of small words
    could bring us such joy?

      Joy, found by our words
      In this ever changing world
      And our wondrous souls.

    Charles at recess
    concocting Haiku bonbons
    while his chums cavort

      Mr. Sarkis plays
      Drama games with his students;
      Love fills all their souls.
