And now for something completely different.

And now, a haiku!

The days slide on by,
living quietly alone,
death without protest.

And one from my brother:
A black tsunami
pale foam flashing in the dark
milk in my coffee
I think his is much better than mine, and much a much truer representation of the original haiku form.

Why is poetry so lost in our culture? Or is it really lost, or has it just changed forms? Where once we had stanza's and sonnets, we now have youtube videos and pop songs.
