For the want of food,
she stole a bright red apple.
Twelve lashes cut skin.
π π
Thief. She was cast out
and did walk a lonely life,
for the want of food.
π π
Famished appetite
not restricted in her gut.
The heart, too, craved things.
π π
Alone in her head –
conversations with herself.
Wanting drove her mad.
π π
She fell on a blade.
Smiled as she bled, for there are
no wants when youβre dead.

Speaking of wanting, I’ve wanted a beanie hat of frost for awhile.
Guess what?
I now have one, and it’s made in Canada (yay!! no sweatshops!).

Rose, you and Alan work really well together. I’m envious. Great five haiku poetry.
Also, you make quite the model. π

Adorable haiku, and very real, the things that drive us a silent despair and the liberating peace a sudden death can give. I think if first time I am conscious of a benie hat (surely I have seen them in movies) it looks nice and exotic to my eyes, as the ones of pirates from tales (the real ones as the Somali pirates probably have adidas xD)

Very true words. Ha! Yes, beanie hats are also known as skull caps since they hug your head so tightly; like a second skin. Lol. Watch out for Somali pirates π
