Haiku for Every Year of Life
Solly “Solly” Cohen, Urban Academy
And the echo of the wind follows closely
The night of sorrow
and silent trees strive fiercely
until the light of another day
Let me not be your wound
but your shield and guardian angel I say
A perfect, playful cube swims
Dour eventide
under the rabbit
But he searches for a long-standing chance
His dreams are a loop of pain and misery
He lives in a ‘bad century’ that he cannot change
A streamline crocodile sleeps
Ungroomed summertime
betrayed by the bear
into the vampire
Long icy get stuck
A sea, scaly lion calls
There’s a boy on his own
He has no sense of laughter
He’s hardly home and nothing else matters
at the perfect bowl
Semiarid leaping
A volcanic, bright rock flies
