From time to time a poem

Ari writes short poems
They make think
I am glad this thread continues.

From time to time I get my way.
A lapse in madness allows me to to stay.
Wherein I find a song or two,
But amidst the chaos nothing is true.

So, I stumble ragged and broken
Gained only wisdom, as the Gods have spoken.
Yet I resolve again with the moon
To return to the battle, a quaint little loon.

Tell me your secrets! I cried to the stars
Tell me your secrets! I deserve as much with these scars.
No poem was written with any new truth
Fancied, had I, myself quite the sleuth.

A secret is power said a pirate to I
A colleague of a Madman, this Pirate to I
Rocked by the waves of old broken codes,
Were secrets of death and stories untold.

Still gathered in ashes, I reach for my pen
To scribble on the madness of still mortal men.
Never a mystery have I refused to seek
Magik is of no use to men who are meek.

Alas, it rang true, rained down from the sky
The cost of the spell was the Pirate's right eye.
I give up to you, a wisdom I keep
Learn from a Master, or go back to sleep.

Today is much like yesterday.
Passage of time on a Ferris wheel.
Change without changing.

He wrote to himself today
he gave a name
and to him it gave the day

I am hoping people are recognizing these as haikus. XD

It is certainly an excellent example of a haiku.
