These are from the Haiku section:
Rankings
Abandon the worst
And you might abandon you
Since none know their ranks
———
Optimism
For a group of trees
To have been called a forest
Took one optimist
———
Changes
As babies we spit
And then we have weight problems
As adults we drown
———
Maladaptive
Share heat for too long
And producing it is hard
When you are alone
———
Unreciprocated
Criminals get free
While those trained to catch them
Do so their whole lives
———
News
They say this moment
Has value without measure
Replaced tomorrow
———
Enlightenment
Those who want more peace
Are engaged in a battle
Those at peace don’t want
———
Goals
When you want plenty
Instead of only one thing
You obtain nothing
———
Collateral
The middle finger
When displayed onto the moon
Might be seen by stars
———
Progress
Wish for all of time
But water, sun, and soil
Are what makes trees grow
———
Overconfident
Tell someone they’re smart
Their isn’t a better way
To make someone dumb
———
Meandering
We don’t say a thing
Though we speak throughout the day
Filling in the gaps
