Haiku Time

ah, I crack myself up sometimes. I love poetry and I love writing it. So here's some haiku's I just made up.

fall colors worn at
all times some think its wrong but
it just feels so right

flannel pajamas
black and blue plaid hand-me-downs
used to be Andre's

writing haikus is
really great fun because they
really get me to laugh

five and and and and
seven and and and and and
five again the end

sorry and scrabble
sitting on the shelf look so
alone with no one

I count the different
syllables on my fingers
make sure it all fits

If You Weren't Here

Why wouldn't you be here?
Is it really that bad?
How do you rationalize?
We're you really sad?

If you weren't here
I think I would cry
Every day and night
Till the day I die

My thoughts would linger
In longing and wonder
What would it have been like
Without this blunder

All the moments missed
All the smiles gone
Why couldn't you stay?
What went wrong?

I'd miss you all
So please don't go
I'll eat you up
I love you so





Thank you "Where the Wild Things Are"

my life
is spent
caring

caring for others
caring for you

I love you
and you
and you

I know many people
and many are my friends
and I love a lot of them too

let me get to know you
I'll spread the love around

its what I'm here for

I'm here for you
and you
and you

Kingsolver's Words

So I'm altering Barbara Kingsolver's book: The Poisonwood Bible, and on every page I've underlined some words to create poetry here's what I got so far.

Imagine
frogs
hauling
and
arching
the
doomed
sympathy
world


mother
sets
Silently
Always
helpless
woman


measure
smaller
years
stuffed
wild


believe
In
me
One has only a life of one's own.


I am
Africa
I was
Africa
I did
Africa
I know
Africa
I know
Africa


slide
this
shake
it
take
it
away


bearing
concern
She
understood
all


mother
lost
the
Father
She
loves
we
prepared
his
beloved


considering
possible
pockets
she
feels
free

Music and Books

in times of great stress and anticipation
revert to music
first some hard rock
something you can scream to
then a soft one
sounds of silence
grab a good book
and soon you'll be pulled into a new realm
of music and words
mixing like fluid
imagery and beats
flowing in your mind
