Alphabet Superset: Haiku

Each week this page will be updated by 8pm on Sunday with a new haiku on a topic that begins with the next letter of the alphabet.

Alarm Clock

WHO? wHat da—When?—oh…
DAMN OUT-OF-BODY ALERT!
—i’m safe.—i’m alive…

Binder Clip

Plastic lost? Go METAL!
Why buy new? SAVE! Have style NOW!
Pinch, grip, clamp and GLAM!

Carpet

Plush city streets sprawl
textrued knees crawl; me and town
incorporated.

Door

securing within
safe from imagined outside
insiders trapped. safe?

Eraser

Fiction pantomimed
If ever written never
unwritten; Just smeared

File Explorer

#rAnd0m path
emo skeuomorph headge maze
lawl XD files

Gel pen

red, blue, black, GLItTeR
over, over & OVER
repeating rainbow

Hairbrush

50 pencil tips
erase coil’d wave; calm water
leads snap one-by-one

Insulation

inedible treat
candy flossed fiberglass
jolly pink toxin

Journal

I wear my heart on
the pages I lock away
from your nosey gaze

Key Chain

FRANTIC! riffiling..? hands?
grasping..? furious..? UNTIL!
Familiar charm!

Lamp Post

to be her at nite

…Beacon of Belongingness…

or not to be here?

Matches

Once struck. no… Twice? Thrice?!
CRACK; SNAP!! More. Again? Again!
Once struck? Twice? Thrice?! FOUR?!?!

Notebook paper

ripping our knowledge
pulling off the frilly bit
exposed scratch throughts; shame.
