Haiku from the Post-Apocalypse

Spidery shadows
from skeletal umbrellas
the soft roar of waves

Two hermit crabs fight
over the pinky toe of
a charred sunbather

A rusty tin can
lid-yawning at the grey sky
torn label flapping

Melted beach pales
pool around glass castles—
little charred hands

Brilliantly funny, or is that just me? lol Each haiku stands Post-Apocalyptic on it's own and together are terrifyingly sublimely funny....Just imaging my smile set in lime! Tai
