Keep Tabs Warily Haiku Series

" Keep Tabs Warily Haiku Series "


by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Enduring time warps
pedestrian directed
movie-nerd content


grubby middle class
as "sort 'a, kind a's"
encroaching nightmares


barely pubescent
inharmonious households
stoke virginities


disoriented
visual austerity
jittery experts


zombies run amok
rusted automobile husks
beaming mediums

playing hide and creep
relentlessly uneasy
paranormal ilks


unflinching visions
ectoplasmic genre tricks
half-finished slim jims


last-minute wishes
as hauntingly suspicious
glaring resistance


mockumentaries
uneasy intimacies
laugh-out-loud grannies


eagle-eyed geezers
extremely tense demeanors
contemplated graves


waiting nervously
unsmiling intensity
first-time directing


horror film faithful
avidly fanatical
keep tabs warily


preposterous lies
unelegantly argued
the rules are the rules


subtly invented
stubbornly independent
capital letters


morality tales
flashing anticipation
terribly teary


strenuous panache
liberated playfulness
consciously gallant


wistful tapestry
reaffirmed longevity
female rivalries


far from guaranteed
resentments never addressed
angry aimlessness



shrieking news released
denied while on camera
picture snapping crowds


silent film routines
generations now defunct
amid drudgery


sightseeing rabble
delusional daytrippers
speaking one by one


title characters
taking chances of landing
parts in snarky plays

sneering auditions
hardbitten supervision
stirring bitterness


swooning with rapture
vanishing hours
minus Sturm und Drang...
