Haiku

How sure can you be
dinosaur is he, not a
simple party poop?

Still a true fox
Smiling to the right
Pouncing left

pouncing left
all other means exhausted;
attack!

attack
a virus ain't a spinster
call guards!

free will
trapped inside
me?

me?
a soul in decay
fall

Fall
Swirl and twirl but land
Softly

Hey, guys, what's up? Are we still doing last line previous haiku? I'll be offline more than on in the next few weeks--you all decide. In mid-February, I'll come back full force . . .

Softly
Come the words of Love
Whispered in my ear

I'm not participating currently, my mind is elsewhere. Right now:

Whom am I to deprive
man of his birthright,
self-deception?

Who is man to decide
the taking of life
or granting it?

With what right
Are wars waged and fought
Lands stolen?

With what right
Senseless killings done
Lives taken?

Creations
Decide rights to break
Still you ask?

Doug, good to see you here still! This is good. In your own style of critique I would suggest this "cut" in the last line, so it would read:

Gotcha! . . . And Noor is on brain cell shortage, mainly Missing In Action (MIA) til graduation! Got it.
We'll do as we like on haiku, then. I'm still for picking up on someone else's haiku, as are a few others.
And we enjoy what your "elsewhere" brains share, OI and Noor! <3
Besties to all.

The heart is surely for me the game is still on, elsewhere brains are in Italics so we don't confuse the gentle souls.

fail, my faith
kill my wisdom,
silence

a sky of clouds
in a drop of rain:
senryu

the sun
rides on photons
to touch us

the violin
dispels the illusion
of finity

to touch us
desert lacks raindrops
on dried skin

On dried skin
In shape of a serpent
Last year's coat
