I wrote two for this one... 🤷♀️
April 8th – Catalyst
Haiku Triplet
Silence is not right
Raise your voice up to be heard
Catalyst for change
Listen just to learn
Voice too quiet to be heard
Within, one holds rage
No one can agree
Opinions formed sans proof
Squeaky wheel gets grease

DAY 8- CATALYST
Moisture makes the seed go bloom
Squirrel goads the dog to zoom
Churchill spoke, spurred Dunkirk hope
The Black Hand gun sparked World War I
Earworm beats prod feet to tap
‘Boom’ at night, mom shrieks “what’s that?”
Heat on ice forms instant cracks
Pokes on bears incite attacks
Soda, vinegar. Bubbles make
Fresh baked bread. Mmm, salivate
An act of terror thrusts States to change
This prompt coaxed me to flex my range

Catalyst
In cuffs, sitting on a curb.
My face hurts
Lips bleeding; bruised eye
None more injured than my pride.
Contemplation and regret
Search for blame easily met.
Would like to blame the girl
Might as well blame the whole world.
Like water, the drinks had flowed
Paid her tab and what she owed.
Thought she liked me, issue never skirted
Not the only one with whom she flirted
A man larger in height
Aching for a fight
Bigger; stronger
Couldn’t last a minute longer
Now, we two must wait
To learn our ultimate fate
While she earns drinks for free
With a flirt and a tease.
