haiku and micropoetry by gennepher

***


***

the fog grew thicker
sinister mythical beasts
the misshapen trees

***

I don't think I exist, my other half is vacant

***

one by one they slipped away into the darkness

***

the silence was really strange

***

fluid and interlocking, green three-dimensional shapes

***

a waterfall of purple pain, dissonance

***

grated bones, shrieking

***

it is not mine ~ it is not me ~ electric blue tangled ribbon

***

onion skin layers ~ peeling off ~ one by one

***

curly silences, the air is still

***

the shadow strode confidently in the light

***

plaster of paris body, a burning inferno inside

***

luminescent green, searing and burning

***

her hand reached into a space that wasn't there

***

the wreath by the grave
it told a story
no-one knew

***

they faded away ~ one by one ~ only one remained

***

death arose from the beginning

***

no time no place
everywhere is nowhere
nowhere is everywhere

***

a blood stained parcel arrived
grandma
posted us a chicken

***

evil stepmother
always picked spring's first snowdrops
death stalked her life

***

scraps of blackened paper circling the bonfire, three crows

***

a shard of glass in the heart, bleeding it dry

***

the whisper died, echoing silently

***

looming out of the fog
twisted shadows
ivy covered oaks

***

utterly still
on a blackened tree
a single crow

***

her mixed up bag of character traits, she was still searching for
her unused ones

***

her head disconnected
fragments
jigsaw puzzle incomplete

***

she felt strangely detached from her body, almost at peace

***

drown the rivers, they'll remain silent

***

invisible she wandered among them

***

eternally burning
rain beating on the eyes of the soul
darkness forever

***

she waited forever, and then she died

***

the child returned to her grave, her bed

***

she lived as a ghost, nothing connected

***

no-one saw her leave
she stepped sideways
became time itself


***
