12 Loose Screw Haiku\Senryu Two by David HillWe waltz round the fields
Our silo brimmed with gold grain
Beneath harvest moon.
Poor sighted possum
Fast "soccer mom" minivan
Converge on a point.
Perched atop pine trees,
Vigilant turkey vultures,
Await the deers death.
The Ferris wheel whirls
The old carnie is revered
Then falls in status
With digitized soul,
Instant gratification,
An unworthy goal.
Black rook with blue hue
Clumsy slow in a gray sky
The war is coming
Moonrise on the moors,
The Barn Owls nocturnal prey?
A field mouse buffet.
At the library
The ragged tramp props a book
Escapes winter's chill.
The axiom's false
He landed but not on feet
The tabby went splat!
The ancient keeper
Achingly climbs spiral stairs
Till his days are done.
A nation in fear
Relinquishes liberty
Ordains Big Brother.
Honeysuckle breeze
Lightning bugs and moonlit leaves
A fine night to die
