Haiku Challenge for Jan. 5: ‘Golden’

Today’s haiku challenge:

Today's @baffled #HaikuChallenge: any haiku you like, as long as it has the word 'golden' in it….

My style is the five/seven/five syllable structure. Here are my 5 haiku poems.

the golden goose rots
inside my chest cavity —
an epitaph lost.

the golden rivers
now forgotten underground
traversing shadows.

depression showcase
encased in golden amber.
a living fossil.

golden memories
like arsenic poisoning.
daily nourishment.

the golden fairies
make nightmare visitations:
threats of tomorrow.
