Falling Haiku's Part 3

by Johnny Crimson

Fall made us lament
for a time without screaming
a time forgotten.

Willed into belief
this environment of pain
necessary still.

Cancel Christmas Eve
the serpent slithers near her
warming up her core.

Expect nothing more
the shortened sonnet of death
you were hoping for.

Guide her hands southbound
the shuttle prepares for launch
neck bent to receive.

Quite impactful Johnny. Reminds me of Edgar Allen Poe...if he had written haiku.
