Quinine Tablets
a little bitter for the better
SETI Haiku
Can the universe
thank itself that there's nothing
else like us out there?
Compliance
The terror of a vengeful god,
whose glowing ray-gun eyes
scan the world for sin and prime
themselves to flash a burning wrath,
keeps him true to all commandments
but the one to love.
South Carolina Haiku
Stun and sting of old
wounds reopened- new pains at
old exasperations.
Should We Survive the Holocene Extinction?
Not only No,
but Hell No.
Divine Rite of Suffering
If God hadn't intended the poor
to suffer and starve,
He wouldn't have made them poor.
He never makes mistakes.

Brilliant.*
Most of the problems we have today can be linked to the great and fearsome Angostura Bitters shortage in 2009.
What?
You think I'm joking?

Good set.
Your bitter drink is artfully mixed. *
I like the title and how it subtly references the religious aspect (tablets)
*
Thoughtful work well done. *
Than you, Amanda, James,
Sam, Matt, Samuel,
Charlotte, and John.
Much more therapeutic than the slug of quinine water I once tried from my father's back bar! Couldn't suppress my lol at SETI Haiku & Should We Survive the Holocene Extinction? All, much for the better-bitter.

Great great work here, Gary.
