Dabbling in Haiku

I normally write poems and haikus and other creative variations of writing from a “love” perspective. Here I’ve toyed with love and other subjects too using Haiku. They are all untitled. I don’t have to say that they’re copyrighted do I?

1.
september winds taunt
inciting summer wallflowers
maple leaves dance

2.
heaven muffles the cynics
mocking my grace laced shoes
mercy still waters dreams

3.
tangy tangelos and apricots
hot grass between bare feet
tastes like wedded bliss

4.
barrage of sugary kisses
from greedy birthday cake eater
famished lips crave repeat

5.
hopscotch and pigtails
giggling balloons take flight
dirty men patrol schoolyards

6.
voiceless minorities shiver
wrapped in newsprint untruths
blindfolded justice was peeking
