Three Miscellaneous Haiku by Dennis Lange

A White Lie

To say that
I came by limo
Stretches truth.

——————–

Pantheists

They are those
Who worship nature -
Tree huggers.

——————–

Kitty Gossip

Oh, that porch!
It’s not a place for
Long-tailed cats.

Three Bird Haiku by Dennis Lange

Double Date

Scoot over.
When does movie start?
Popcorn? Coke?

——————-

 

No Bronze

The medals
In rooftop perching
Gold, silver.

——————–

 

Incoming

Put flaps down;
Cut all the engines -
Smooth landing.

A Bow of Boats

Just waiting
To take to the sea –
A rainbow.

——————–

Why Immigrants Come To America

I get it.
Torch statue holds is
Free ice cream.

——————–

 

Demure At Dawn

Grand ladies
Dressing modestly,
Wearing veils.

Three Miscellaneous Haiku by Dennis Lange

This One Let It Slip

A lip curl;
Eyes, a certain look –
Sneer, disdain.

——————–

The Invitation

Hungry? Cold?:
Thirsty? Foot weary?
Just lonely?

——————–

Flanders Field?

Poppies grow,
Spread, as does in war
The blood flow.

——————–

The Size of Delaware

Amend sign.
A million acres
Needs army.

New Name; Same Bad Place

Bates Motel?
It has a warning:
Blood on sign.

No warning.
Until this moment,
Life was smooth.

Golden Egg

Oh, tell us
About the big goose
That laid you!

In winter,
The deep banks of snow –
White cats sleep.

He’ll Beam Us Up

Beamed Him down
Shepherd’s guiding beam.
World now beams.

Life is just one long
Bad hair day!

Abracadabra

Spring’s magic
Makes the world burst, bloom.
Turns it green.

——————–

Dog-Tired

A boxer
At end of the round
Down and out.

Rest or Roam?

Our choice:
A seat, serene; or
Path ahead.

Picture Perfect

What’s ideal:
The best that can be –
Idyllic.

Letting You Know

Just a mask?
No, I really am
Blue inside.

God To Abraham:

Spare your son.
I will offer up
Mine instead.
