Burning poems

A Sedoka

India Times, woman burns house burning old letters

The once read poem

That you made for my blue eyes

Why did you burn them away?

*

To make it easy

To bare the pain in some way

So I can't come back to you

heartbreak

About the Creator

Some Guy

I kinda suck at writing but I enjoy it

Anyway, here's a dumb little haiku:

The gunslinger draws

His opponent does the same

oh dear, they both died
