The Threshold

Time is symbolic.
It marks a feeling, not a
moment or split second.

Liquor Store Awkward

Co-Worker asks me
To the Gomer's Liquor store
Cue ninja mode now!

Speaking of Liquor Stores

I've heard of drive-through
liquor stores in Arkansas.
Arkansas's weird, lol.

Greece is Screwed

It seems as though while
democracy itself dies,
its inventor chokes.

Missouri Is No Different

Little girl sitting
Front seat of her mother's car
Bring out the Vodka!

At least she's not binge
drinking with friends, and her mom
is supervising.

Who has the problem?

I think that depends
on exactly how old this
"little girl" is, no?

"Little girl" was just
Five in the front of her mama's
Car. She ain't legal.

Are you citing some
sort of news story...or just
real-life, observed proof?

Cue ER Opening Theme
Broken jar in hand
Much blood and torn tendon
Now on Vicodin

It is my life story
That little girl at one point
Was a little me

It's ill-advised for
her to ride in the front seat,
let alone get drunk.

I'm truly sorry you had to go through that.

Baby girl did not drink
But her mom sure as hell did
Almost like water.

Meh, it's a quirk I learned to live with.

Oh, sorry...I misinterpreted what you were saying.

Architeuthis

Hidden in the deep,
it will weave its tentacles
around your throat. SNAP!

No worries. Sometimes my writing isn't all that clear!

Chakra One
The muladhara
Roots one to their mother Earth
The physical plane.

London...sort of...

Connecticut is
almost as cool...that's where the
"sort of" part comes in.

Trying to Explain Politics to my Little Sister

"Well, liberals are
the ones who, um...well, they're...uh...
Mom and I like them."

Chakra Two
Swadisthana flow
Emotional and sexy
Like river water.

Chakra Three
The Solar Plexus
The fire in the belly
The Manipura.

Chakra Four
The Anahata
Knows that love is unending.
Every heart is deep.

String of haikus dedicated to various vegetables:

Carrots

The roar of music,
loud bites, reading the news.
I don't hear her scream.

Asparagus

This spear punctures my
taste buds to death. It's like war:
avoid at all costs.

Tomatoes

Wait...what? Tomatoes
are fruits? I will not stand for
this...this......heresy!

Butternut Squash

My teeth do not bite
down on it. Instead, it bends
to yield to my teeth.

Broccoli

This tree gives life - strong
bones, healthy smiles...as long
as it's soaked in ranch. :)

The Big-Mouths

Run screaming along
the courts. It's a long walk back
if you're one of them.

Welcome Back
A week has gone by
Since I last saw your words here
Hi, TaintedLogic!

Chakra Five
Speak your words always.
The visuddha reminds you to
Speak only the truth.

Hi, TaintedLogic!

It's good to be back!
And so let flow this recharged
creativity.

Chakra Six
Reflection within
Through the third eye of anja
See without the clouds

Haikus on a Crush

Go Away
Just a bit longer
Then we get to go on home.
But you are still here.

When You Can't Look Them In the Eye
When the sun rises
Inside of you they should not
Know that it is them.

Guilt
She is your one rock.
One that I wish I had too.
I can stand the fall.

Regret
The moment you came
Into a life that did not
Know it needed you.

Outside of You
There exist two worlds
One with you in it and one
Where you are not there.

Outside of You II
The pure inception
Creates apprehension for
If the two do meet.

Depression
A heart falls asleep
A room falls into silence
Falling so slowly.

Depression II
I really want to
Not care at all about you
But I never will.

Revelation
You cannot ever know.
Once I cross that pond, you will
Not know my sunrise.

... *drinks scullcap tea* Well there's my buttload of angst for the evening.

Ten is good...

...but my record for
haikus in a day is (I
think) fourteen. Beat that!

>:D

Well Well Well...
My dear friend, is that
A haiku challenge I see?
I may just take it.

>:3

(I also did not think I was that clever with the scullcap one-- very sharp.)

Chakra Seven
Sahaswara is
In the crown. Enlightenment
And the higher self.

She Lives In a Daydream Where I Don't Belong
There is no right in
Leaving-- yet there is a right
In letting her go.

Making Music
Where there is rhythm
There is a song to be sung
Wish I could make it...

Writing Love Poems To No One
Hearts will spill over
Into waterfalls of words
But there is no lake.

Writing Love Poems To Someone
The smell of roses
And poisonous wine to drink
All for pretty words.

Student Loans
I need to have a
Chat with Sallie Mae today
How loveless she is...

Haiku for Him
You will never see
The poems I write because
I know you will laugh.

Titanic
We'll stay forever
This way--even after the
World has stopped turning.

For Girls of Color
Grew up around black--
I saw her as beautiful.
Why does no one else?

For Tea
Make me a gaiwan
Of Shang's White Tea Wu-Long, dear;
Then we might just chat.

On Turning 22...
I swear, if I hear
Taylor Swift's song Twenty-Two
Once I will EXPLODE!

Tired
Two Vicodin down
And a heart full of that one
I don't want to think...

One Breaks My Body...
I know you don't see
When I look at you, my dear,
Hope you never will.

The Other Breaks My Soul...
My head in your neck
But miles away from here
A contradiction.

Sixteen
...Challenge accepted.
I meet your fourteen and raise
You two more haiku.

:3

This game of chicken
will continue. You haven't
seen the last of me...

I was not aware
That we were playing chicken.
I quake in my boots.

Birthday!
Another year gone
Another year I grow old.
A Happy Birthday!
