Old Age Haiku

shrill boom
across the room-
loud snore



the shadow
of  your smile-
toothless



withered wallflowers
hanging flaccidly-
wrinkles on the face




Summer51

Author notes

I'm good at this kind of Haiku...

No holds barred...


Sheeesh.... !

          Yeah, I do agree with you with that emotion you feel... sad but we have to accept that, that is
          part of life process...

          The FOUNTAIN of YOUTH hasn't discover yet, eh! lol... Only cosmetics to "hide" a little of those lines.

          Thanks again for dropping by, k-Ninos.

          Good Monday morning here in my country.

    The first one is definitely a haiku about me!

    The second one is hilarious...and wacky, and a great visual <-------------Imagine the front teeth missing!

    The third one, oh my, remind me never to show you my photo!

    They're all fun stuff...including that cute bunny!
