Tell me what to do
I’ll whisper sweet denials
All the livelong Day
Haiku on Home
This one meant everything to me, at the time and still two years later. I am reminded I tried.
Lexicon Rebel
There isn’t the wise heart
Inside this frame
Able to end Something
With correct words and proper punctuation
What grammar class rebel
With words for the dispose
Doesn’t know the greatest way
To say goodbye is with the first kiss;
Single Punch: A Haiku
I saw no courage
On your tongue or in your eyes
Accusers of mine
Failing
The cut has come on strong as I am strong
The red flows more fast than I am fast
The inhale cannot pace with the exhale
The color fades too far into the pale
The heart don’t yet know what it ought know
Fine, Fine, Fine
One dangerous day this has been
People are drowning
To my naïve eyes
I thought to reach in
Then found that they’re fine
I am thankful but drowning my friend
Mama Super
Where I find my trouble
At this time of the Day
Wanting my bones to matter
To someone’s outstretched hand
Then oft’ times if there’s time
Throughout the Dayiong dance
Comes the wish to walk it off
In most unorthodox shoes
When I pour the Day’s last tea
The mild then seems hard
But as the lights come off I speak
Unnecessarily aloud, I did that
Collect Me: A Haiku
Oh a Camaro
Cruising again and again
Solid Sixties lines
Half
Released and tight at my sleeve
Or slipping from its safe house
Acting like there’re big plans
And it must lead the way
So down ill-advised paths I am drawnHaving been locked away
For a lifetime or more
Has done nothing to cure a penchant for big dreams
But dwelling in elsewhere’s place
Has me to know to lock it back or bid it away
May 7, 2016: A Haiku
Too much metaphor
Results in the fall away
Of people, hearts, home
