Haikus capture a vast expanse of emotions and perceptions in just a few words. These are some of our favorite original haikus submitted by ArtParasites readers.

A gun to my head
Triggered by your memories
The bullet’s your name

-Alexandria Dellera Piñon

I try to revive
my inner child once a day
to see with soft eyes

-Rachel Schoening

She comes after rain,
like a rainbow, then she’s gone.
Do I miss the rain?

-Rich Williams

Validation sucks
Be happy and live freely
Not all’s worth a fuck

-Lucky Ladjamatli

You love me, do you?
Waiting for reply, eyes closed.
Days passed, unreplied.

-Angela Chua

I was mute so long
I’d forgotten how to speak
You brought me my voice

-Ade Line

My mind is healing,
Is the fresh spring ground bursting
With life after loss

-Heather Neidlinger
