John Hawk & Rachael Stanley: Wednesday Haiku, Week #71

disturbed
the deadwood
wriggles

an old man surrenders
the coffin accepts
his final offering

old man's leisure--
this year's tobacco too
becomes smoke

It looks like some advanced aircraft design for the military.

Charles ... so true. Wouldn't be the first time we 'borrowed' design for our own purposes, nefarious and otherwise.

a do-it-yourself ply-wood coffin
and full-blooms
-just another haiku moment

Issa's Untidy Hut said...

in the plain wood
coffin board,
tiny shoot

Ed Baker said...

not enough room
in this tiny coffin
to include my Full Moon

Bernadette said...

Fab image, fab haiku Rachael

Issa's Untidy Hut said...

Through the pinhole
in the coffin lid,
full moon,
unseen
