A Poem by poddar kushal

SNIPPET _I

His dull scissors fell from a hand too old.

The red dirt of a village road ahead.

The village barber’s hairs flow in arid air 

 

 

Snippet - II

The inventions of do-gooders to hair, skin, teeth

Even age

Lie on the dressing table with double mirror.

She overlooks

The creeping shadow of time on the pane.

I like the randomness of it...

These "snippets" have the feel of haiku/senryu--they are quite visual in that sense, but they have a poginancy that you rarely find in haiku or senryu. Fine pieces of shortverse.

Interesting style and creative it is, well done.

This makes me think of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber. Great Write.
