Life Haikus

Tyler R. Martin

A good mother weeps
When her little baby’s born
And thrown into the

Pit of vile snakes
And frothing hungry jackals
We know as the world.

And she weeps not for
Fact that he’s doomed to die
But he’s doomed to live.

“Mother’s Day Haiku”

Tyler R. Martin

Today is the day
All mother’s are given thanks
For their tyranny.

I was tempted, so
I popped a few of those pills
And now there is a

Fire in my skull.
My brain melts just like butter,
Eyes grow glassy-red,

Legs rise like balloons
And my hands feel just like lead…
Am I gonna die?

Tyler R. Martin

Interesting fact:
Liter and a half of wine
Gets me very drunk;

Few puffs from a pipe
And I’m sent into orbit,
Drifting out in space;

Sip some cough syrup
And I see God on his throne,
Giving me wisdom;

These things I must know
If I’m to survive this world
With some sanity.

Tyler R. Martin

Weekends are a blur,
Mondays a total eclipse
And Wednesdays just suck.

Tuesdays I’m asleep,
Thursdays: always hungover,
Fridays I retreat,

Retreat into abyss
Until Sunday comes around,
Then I start again.

Tyler R. Martin

I don’t get birthdays,
Just waking up is enough
Cause to celebrate

When my blonde fixes me up
A nice pulled pork sandwich
And pours a glass of wine
I don’t want to
Kill myself
Quite so
Bad.

Nothing carries less weight than
A resolution in
Sunday morning fog.
Headaches breed lies
And liars
And false
Vows.

You are my entire world,
Light if my very life,
My everything;
My sweet bourbon,
My shot glass,
And my
Smoke.

Fuck, when will I be famous?
I can’t avoid people
That aren’t stalking
And pleading
To speak with
Bashful
Me.
