3 Haikus

1.even the rose’s foundation
is rooted
on a stem of thorns

modern haiku
from the second floor
no one can see the old book
under the table leg

Coconut Pie

You picked the flashlight
over sweet coconut pie,
and I, for you,
decided on the dessert.
Now it has disappeared.
The pie made you happy,
I think.
