07/09/08- Haiku #20

I am a fountain
Ideas flow from Spirit
Through my open mind

rambling reclaiming 07/03/08 2:25pm

I'm juicy and ripe, quite succulent really.
I'm round and I'm soft as I sway across the room.
A drop of passion oil I place on my hot ivory covering.
Salt and pepper on my head.
Bare feet on the floor.
I laugh deep from my belly

I hate to end a good book 07/03/08

I hate to come to the end of a good book. Like a child at bed time, afraid of missing out, I dilly-dally reading just a snippet here and there trying to make it last. Afraid of the sadness that comes with the loss of an old friend. Not sure who I will miss more the story or the characters.

JEEZ LOUISE
YOU SLEAZE
OH PLEASE
DON'T TEASE
LOUISE
WITH EASE

"THEY" are not my friend! 07/03/08-2pm

What if... you spent your whole life doing everything "THEY" expected.
Then to celebrate you threw a party, and "THEY" never came.
Would you through in the towel?
Would you give up on all their silliness?

I'm full to the brim
Stuffed feelings choked way down deep
I waddle away

So she went, and so she came.
Spinning, swirling dancing wild.

Summer Storm

07/03/08


Keep an eye on that thunder.
Press an ear to the flash.
Taste the rumble of rainfall.

(the rhythm in the next two lines doesn't match, but I am using them to hold the thought until I figure out how to fix it.)

Smell the echo of sweet winds.
Drenched in the heat of (electricity)

I'm searching your soul
You, expansive spirit pool
We, tremble with love

I'm questioning all
Life, giant exploration
How can I learn all?

Progressive Sylabic Haiku 07/03/08 first draft

This is my first experiment with creating my own form. I used a progressive increase of syllables in each haiku, starting with 1/3/1 and going up to 8/10/8. I found the more syllables I used the more difficult the haiku. These are not done, but I'm happy with the first attempt.

1/3/1- I'm
Missing cat
Lonely

2/4/2- I am
Endless searching
Unknown

3/5/3- Who knows life?
Will my soul be filled?
I'm hope full

4/6/4- Inquisitive
Peering into Spirit
Breathtaking view

5/7/5- I'm weary, needing
A good night's rest eludes me
When will running stop?

6/8/6- I am an endless soul
Confined in my humanity
Separated at birth

7/9/7- I'm blurry-eyed, sleep walking
Repetitive avoidance of dreams
Slumber, please carry me home

8/10/8- I'm numb, having left my body
Shocked, unable to feel each sensation
How do I find restitution?

No sustenance here
I swallow more hollowness
Vessel, how to fill?

Haiku #15

07/02/08

I'm a veneered shell
Not enough connection here
Feelings, deep whirlpool

Haiku #14

07/02/08

I'm contained, sadly
Foot step out in adventure!
Freedom lurking, where?
