Colors faded fast
to the night-adapted eye no matter their shine. |

Welcome, toecollector. FYI- the haikus in this thread should follow the 5/7/5 syllable format for each line.
Hoping to survive the calamity, your line breaks to fit the rules. |

Breaks to fit the rules

For you to nod off,
at a time like this, means you... Are you listening? |

The skies brighten with music; the sun brings a song. |

To whispers of moss
the rabbit hops. Nose prods their tangles. Time to eat. |

Even Death moves on,
but not before collecting that which he came for. |

That which he came for—
last vestiges of my pride— he stole like a thief. |
