Books Vs. Cobwebs hay(na)ku

by

Please
don't judge
my old house.
Yes, I see
the cobwebs
fighting
wars
to claim
the dark corners.
The truth is
I don't
care.
Houses
are simply
to hold books
like giant bookends—
keeping them
safe.

Thank you, MyNAh_27! It's just a simple poem for fun, but I do love how the bare bones of the hay(na)ku really intensify the message sometimes. They seem like a good form for sarcasm and dark humor, two things I enjoy.
