Paper Soul
Paper Soul – Five Haiku by Rose Perez
You’ve nothing to say
In silence, you still taunt me
Quiet mockery
I stare back at you
A frozen smile strains your face
Love’s gone; there’s no trace
Limb by limb, I rip
*Raguel, I call onto thee
Set my vengeance free
Arms, legs, hands, and feet
My ex-lover’s confetti
Scattered piece by piece
You’ve broken my heart
Your paper soul I’ve now cleaved
I tear you from me
*Raguel is known as the Angel of Vengeance.

My apologies to Rose for not having acknowledged this piece sooner. It is based on a scrap of a photobooth photo which I found discarded in Melbourne, many years ago. Thank you Rose!

I may just have to check out this “Rose” person’s blog. She sounds like an interesting individual who finds the beauty and stories behind everyday objects, much like yourself. Have a Happy Christmas, Katherine. 🙂

I like how the this series of haiku can be read as a single poem. And what a perfect verbal manifestation of the scrap of photo!

I am in awe of people who understand haiku enough to write them, and doubly so of people who can write them so beautifully.
