Vain Supplication



A murder of sullen prayers
smudges the sky with tantrums - 
dark rosary of vanity.

    This is just brilliant, Susie. An incredibly forceful haiku.

    Excellent!! At first I read "murder of 'stolen" prayers" and I stopped. It didn't take long to remember another tourist in Jerusalem stealing one of the prayers stuck into the Western Wall. Souvenir??
