new glasses askew linked haiku (free form)
by Paul Robert Sanford

new glasses don’t fit
nothing looks familiar
there you are!

I don’t get headaches
new glasses aske
ouch!

seeing double
facebook photos of cats
online raging arguments

the warm sun delights
squinting, cataracts
sunburn, headaches

eclipse
don’t look at the sun
I miss everything

special eclipse lenses
glasses all askew
I close my eyes

listen to the news
the world is on fire
I close my ears

closed from sight or sound
a gentle loving touch
thank you, friend!
