I submitted the five poems here to Pure Haiku
for Freya’s latest theme, Disintegrate.
The second haiku was featured at Pure Haiku on November 7th.
Disintegrate
life a forest path
journey of many footsteps
leaving crumbling leaves
compassion absent
during both good times and bad
friendship collapses
advantage taken
at the cost of innocents
mankind’s undoing
sugar dissolving
cream adding soothing light tones
sweetness of warm tea
gazing at the stars
drawn to expanding brilliance
supernova’s birth
As always, thank you to Freya Pickard for this feature, and for offering these prompts.

I like all of these, Ken. The first one is probably my favorite, but I don’t have to choose 🙂 The 2nd one is a sad reality that nobody wants to face with a friend. The 3rd one is a fatal genetic flaw for our species. Tea, like coffee, is good to me at any temp, any sweetness, with or without cream, and the last one reminds me of the song that has, “a champagne supernova in the sky.”

Thanks, Lisa. There are so many ways to consider the term. I like the thought of growth coming out of loss.

They’re all quite good! And they work well as a collective. I too like the hot tea … a different sort of “disintegrate” … inspires me to get up right now and make a cup!

Good job with all of them. The warm tea is different though, and so vivid.

Thank you, Merril.
That one took a bit of imagination for me. I usually take my tea unadulterated.

Yes, I also take both tea and coffee black, no sugar. 🙂
