The Spark
A Haiku Strain
Under warm blankets,
Comfort spawns a hollowness,
My antagonist
A new light of spring,
May this sequestration birth
green epoch's heroes
Hollowness! Darkness!
As their bright banes, Arise now,
Summer Harbingers!

Throne of the Beast
“Lock and load.” Knight One’s command echoed through his helmet, drowning out the helo’s thumping engines. Knight Two sat across from him, his mechanical gloves thumbing the safety on his oversized auto shotgun clad in etched black metal. Knight Four scoffed silently, his face obscured by the jet-black helmet. An uncivilized weapon for an uncivilized man. There are already enough of those in this godless world. Two always seemed unsettling, like a big frothing dog in a constant internal struggle of, “Should I bite or hump my master?” It was no wonder Callsign General loved Two, even if Callsign Archbishop barely tolerated him. One was the Archbishop's girl.

I was wondering what happened to ya. I've seen likes here and there but nothing published. It was getting to the point where I was gonna hit you up through discord, lol. Anyway, welcome back and what a fine poem to return with.
I like this very much and wonder how you came up with this thought.
Ready and not ready to emerge it seems.
Welcome back! Your haikus beautifully capture the changing seasons and the emotions that come with them.
