The Poetry Marathon

I’ve just broken out in hives

cat brought pollen from the grass

ain’t it great to be alive

when allergies can kick your a*#

Deadpool’s standing on my desk

a plastic figure clothed in red

stoic, stiff, and statuesque

a shiny little bobble head

with ninja sword and sawn off gun

frozen pose prepared to spar

my anti-heroes all good fun

after credits “chicka chicka”

rosy cheeks and rosy face

my eagerness may be misplaced

but buttered crumpets hit the spot

and Vegemite is an acquired taste

the night so far was awful cheery

though hours alone will soon seem dreary

so I’ll keep writing haiku’s a lot

between reruns of Big Bang Theory

nothing good happens
after 2 am- late night write
saved by haiku

Hey pretty kitty
White fur on black dress is bad
Where’s the lint brush gone?

Adventure time love
Marceline the vampire queen
Rocks my undead heart

Screen glare hurts my eyes
Design, page colour, light grey
Ah, that feels better

Mayan pictograph
In Lois’s forearm tattoo
Woman is learning
