Tuesday Haiku: Of time travel and helplessness

This week's Tuesday Haiku, in keeping with tried-and-tested irony, is ready on Wednesday.

Comparative Haiku
In a candy store
children do not wait for crumbs
like I do for you

Bright Light Haiku
For Kiran
Disco-lit auto
every evening going home
I seek time travel

Monarch Haiku
A big butterfly
in the pit of my stomach
dying of darkness

When I read haiku
I always ask myself "Why?"
And I go to sleep.

About my sister
Time travel will not help you
Return to normal.

[Purposely left the punctuation ambiguous at the end of the second line so you don't know whether the return in the third line is infinitive or imperative.]

Hahahaha! The second one is brilliant. It wouldn't have been the same if you'd punctuated. Well done, fr.a.
