1/. Ice from clear blue skies Harsh invisible blizzard Blind Sun thinks we’re warm 2/. Banana peel love Falling over at first touch Embracing the void 3/. Life flashes before eyes Many DVD extras Forgotten moments 4/. My superpower Is life, death is Kryptonite More of it lately. 5/. Staring at the wall As if the bricks could inspire. Muse plays hide and seek Arthur Chappell

Sometimes silence is best left alone, undisturbed. Sometimes, one must shout.

Very good Haiku! I do enjoy writing this type of poetry. This type of poetry brings great meaning while only using a few words.

I always enjoy your haiku. I like #1 best, because Winter sun is so blindingly ineffective. Love it.

today I like #5, but think that bricks can be quite inspiring
