What Am I? #3

Mar9

Pressure of uncertainty
Influence of yesterday
Smell of surprise
Transfer of recollections

Separating

Mar8

An echo of chemistry
A password lock to reach your heart
Only me in the overlap of the Venn diagram

Out Of This World

Mar7

Tonight this car
Won’t get me home
I need a flight
To the stars to reach you

A Lesson That Should’ve Been Learned From Playing Rock-Paper-Scissors

Mar6

You were a flower
I was concrete
Yet with each petal plucked
My walls turned into some substance that could be cut with scissors

You were supposed to be paper
A delicate thing that could crumple
I was supposed to be a rock
Forged from the hard and harder

But you weren’t a flower
And I wasn’t concrete
You were the sheet
That covered me

What Am I? #2

Mar5

Sevenfold beauty
Undulating presence
Peaceful to disagreeable
Relaxing to thrashing
True depth unmeasured
A mystery of darkness

What Am I? #1

Mar4

Second cousin to expectation
Buried beneath a costume
A fragment of pleasure

Mondays

The first day of the week
I wish I could ungrow up

Taller Than Everest

Mar1

Climbed the mountain of commitment
Unaware of all the casualties at the top
Who knew peer pressure was taller than Everest?

Taboo Haikus

Feb29

These are not haikus
Taboo has leapt into them
They contain cutting words
