Five New Haiku

Potent poetry
Is like a steel fishing hook
That skewers your thumb.

The smiling orchid
Foolishly crossing my path
Dealt the kick of death.

Licking matted fur
With the unruffled finesse
Only a cat has.

Gold foil packages
Laced with red and green ribbons?
Show me the money!

Bountiful bookcase
Bulging with decades-old dreams
A mere megabyte.
