Haiku Heights




please give it a rest
you are a stone in my shoe
an irritation




this stone is my friend
it's more truthful than a lot
of theologians




found guilty by law
stoning is the punishment
we turn a blind eye

  7. Oh that last one very powerful and emotional to read

    The middle one I can't help but think of my pet rock and I think you are right

    The first one I know that guy and I am sure I've been that guy to someone

  8. Now you've made me think of that terrible Neil Diamond song, "Stones." and it will be playing in my head all day. Thanks.
