A blog in honor of Ernest Hemingway's continual search for the perfect sentence. Now in a new and improved haiku format!
Everything's broken
by design yet the spirit
resists their scheming
Rusty swords rattled
until they snap leaving just
empty vain gestures
Broken bell towers
fail to call the faithful to
defend city walls
Clamps on jaws creak, warp,
and finally snap with a roar
from the dispossessed
Unfortunately,
product placement is hard in
poetry (drink Coke!)
A broken smile, not
a sneer, but edging closer
with each new trauma
