Haiku

by
Shureda Casterberry

moonlight, crickets
fireflies light up
a glass jar

band-aids and kisses
don't make it
all better

her only friend
worn and torn
she whispers in an ear

hand in hand we go
he walks
I skip

mascot fading 
on a navy blue hoodie 
infused with scents of you 

I am the tree 
that fell 
in the forest

tarnished lockett  
on a tangled chain 
I daydream

she stares at the ceiling 
as the moon sits high 
no pillow talk
