Haikus with keyword: still

Silent tears cascade—
once thin limbs in summer shade—
why won’t love just stay?

Hm (I never did you wrong) Hm (and my

my patience is gone) Fell in love for the first time With a friend

it's a good sign Feeling off when I feel fine 21 took a lifetime People say I look happy Just because I got skinny But the old me is still me and maybe the real me And I think she's pretty And I still cry Cry And you know why Am I acting my age now? Am I already on the way out? When I step off the stage

I'm a bird in a cage I'm a dog in a dog pound And you said I was your secret And you didn't get to keep it And the internet is hungry for the meanest kind of funny And somebody's gotta feed it Oh

do you still cry? Still cry I cry I never did you wrong (never did you wrong) And my (my)

my patience is gone (is gone) And I (I)

I never did you wrong (you wrong) I loved you for so long

hm SKINNY-BILLIE EILISH

Sun on silver hair
Summer winds hum through his work—
young at seventy-five.

Brother

75th birthday

summer

still working

Violet breeze whispers
ruby glow in shadows deep
lust lingers, unclaimed

In this abandoned world

Violet Ruby Jane still retains a trace of her sexiness

telling of her unfulfilled lust

Pencil poised so still
Afternoon light fades softly
Thoughts wait on the page

Pencil

stillness

afternoon

Winter's quiet cloak,
Peaceful stillness blankets the earth,
Still, serene, serene.

Winter Quiet

Peaceful

Still

Winter's quiet embrace,
Peaceful, still, the world in hush,
Snow blankets, serene.

Winter Quiet

Peaceful

Still
