haiku

high heeled boot-
stuck to the sole,
a leaf.

lamplight reflected,
a twin for
my room.

a webcam winks
weighted down
with a pebble

frying fish
flesh gleaming as if
hit by sunshine.

Haiku- like our own existence discontinuous and proof of nonexistence .
I liked the foolish Optimism in the end ..

Nice poem...and i wonder what the dream merchant means by proof of non existence

: M : said...

@ dream merchant- i actually feel as if a haiku is a proof of existence, not the reverse.
