Patrick Henry
Said Patrick:
Liberty or death,
Treat or trick.
————————-
Devil At The Door
How he works:
Treat, treat, treat, treat, treat,
Treat, treat, TRICK!
—
Not one day.
He does it all days –
That’s scary!

* The haiku I write are lines of 3-5-3 syllables instead of 5-7-5.

…………Lucifer In Starlight
On a starred night Prince Lucifer uprose.
Tired of his dark dominion, swung the fiend
Above the rolling ball, in cloud part screened,
Where sinners hugged their specter of repose.
Poor prey to his hot fit of pride were those.
And now upon his western wing he leaned,
Now his huge bulk o’er Afric’s sands careened,
Now the black planet shadowed Arctic snows.
Soaring through wider zones that pricked his scars
With memory of the old revolt from Awe,
He reached a middle height, and at the stars,
Which are the brain of heaven, he looked, and sank.
Around the ancient track marched, rank on rank,
The army of unalterable law.
The Bard on the Hill
