2 poems & a haiku

Night

Static coming from the radio
even though it isn't on,
toaster-oven mysteriously singing too;
murmurs, cat cries,
everything still as a pin.

Why Am I So Scared?
by Carol Goss & Ruth Campbell

I hear there is an atom bomb,
and I remember VietNam.
This world is sure hell.
I'd hate to see them make a fire
where I dwell.

The Statue of Liberty is trembling now.
She's almost falling in the sea.
She's smoking her last cigarette,
and I'm afraid for thee and me.

Haiku

If the sparrow
doesn't hop around,
he'll never get
any birdseed.
