Haiku – Snuffle and Yawn

matthewjrichardson Poetry Nov 15, 2018Aug 18, 2019 1 Minute

Dug out a couple of haikus this morning…

Snuffle

Crooked, root-beamed vault

Between oak knees bald and bowed.

Snuffles from within.

Yawn

Shrill, yawn-stifled cries

From pillow-creased cheeks issue.

Gummy mouth agape.
