Dry

I give to you a series of seven haiku in eleventy-one words...

Sweat seeps from his pores,
His thirsty throat dry as bone,
In the swimming pool.

She hangs the red shirt
To dry in the yellow sun,
But a black cloud looms.

A few dry eyes gaze
As she lies on the blue bed.
It’s not a sad wake.

He clicked on the screen.
The system fatally crashed.
Twas just a dry run.

‘Hi, my name is Mike.
I have been dry for twelve days.’
He sips from his flask.

He climbs to the bow,
Claims to be king of the world
On a dry docked ship.

‘Is it right or wrong?’
‘Yes,’ he replied with a smirk.
Dry wit eludes me.

Haiku

A leaping leper
Is in serious danger
Of losing himself.
Crawling ladybug
I wanted to crush you, but
I'm superstitious.
On the East Coast, I
dislike you; on the West Coast
I like others more.
A woman applies
makeup on the bus. One bump
and it's all over.
