Sitting in his cell,
He no longer sees the walls
-only lonely past.
In children's park,
Vines weave through the chain link fence
-forming leafy walls:
a cocoon for children's dreams
acted out on playing frames.

My Word!
Shockjock spews venom,
Norm knew he had a mission
-took gun to clinic.
Standing in doorway,
Boss said I want a word, please!
-holding the pink slips.
On hospital ward,
Old woman saw her daughter
-Said, I forgive you!
Four years of struggle,
She received her diploma,
-Congratulations!
The principal smiled at her,
she did not have the words, though.
After twenty years,
Al met his son at the gate,
-welcome home father.
Staring at the page,
Waiting for the words to come
-page simply stares back.

Murphy's Haiku #29
Tunnel was complete,
We stuck our heads up and saw
-the warden's office!
