More haikus


The haiku is not
A form I excel at, but
I try anyway.

Three souls in my room:
Frightened me looking round for
Two flying insects.

Insect 1 and 2,
Please don’t fly about like that
Go, leave me alone.

Insect 1
Like a sleek sporty version of a ladybug 

Insect on my couch
Sat there resting for a while
And then disappeared.

Insect 2
Creepy, I tell you

Insect on my wall
Jumped at me, so I jumped too.
It shall jump no more.

Which reminds me, RIP, Chris Kelly. (For those of you who don’t know, he was part of the duo Kris Kross. Their most famous song was Jump. I swear I didn’t think about it until I finished writing that haiku)
Also, I didn’t squish the wall insect. It disappeared quietly just like the other one.
