Three Stories

To face the dangers
he took a cumbersome sword,
but wielded it well.

~~ ~~ ~~

The old fadista,
entertaining morbid thoughts,
fingers her white throat.

~~ ~~ ~~

A rampage of words—
old poet welcomes each one
as an honored guest.

These are great
The 2nd is so full of pathos
I see a pearl choker there
For her to clutch

Thanks for the new word for me; “Fadista”. It is always fun to see you weave your haiku spell.
