Sometimes I like to
think about the cavewoman
burping her baby.
It's really hard
writing a haiku every single
day of my life.
I just want to tell
you, from the bottom of my
big heart, I love you.
Time can feel so short
or very long or like it's
been no time at all.
They call me a
romantic. I wouldn't have it
any other way.
Leaving the plains for
the rain forest. I'll miss my
friend, the tumbleweed.
My eyes and thoughts may
wander, but my heart and soul
are always at home.
I dreamt about you
last night and I'm pretty sure
you dreamt about me.
The weeping willow
is always so pretty even
when it's crying.
Love will bring us
together. Hate will tear us apart.
It's that simple.
Mom, can you tell the
story of you growing up?
Yes, I can daughter.
You can call me out
on the rug and I'll say,
"May I have this dance?"
That train follows me
wherever I go. Even
when I'm far from home.
"All you need is your
own imagination. So use it
that's what it's for."
-Madonna
Somewhere someone is
thinking about you and
wishing you were closer.
Here I am, again,
writing another haiku
for you to enjoy.
Fact mixes with fiction,
past becomes present and
dreams are reality.
I dreamt it was the
holidays and my grandmother
was still alive.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
The piano teacher
moved out. I miss the notes
floating through the window.
I could watch your bright
eyes watching the world for as
long as the world turns.
It's as simple as
watching you wax your hair and
I'm in love again.
Laughter might be the
only survival skill you'll
need in this cruel world.
To have infectious
laughter might be the best
compliment in the world.
It's a mad, mad, mad,
mad, mad, mad and sometimes
awesome world we live in.
What more is beyond
the sky other than more and
more beautiful sky?
There's a crow that
attacks people on the bridge.
I haven't met him yet.
Expect the best and
you'll get less. Expect less and
you might be impressed.
We are all natives.
Natives of the stars in this
cosmic universe.
People say "check yourself
before you wreck yourself,"
but it ain't me, babe
I know what you're going
to say. I'm awesome and
shouldn't change a thing.
I close my eyes and
hear a Spanish guitar and
forget where I am.
Every story's the
same. You learn who you are and
then, one day, you die.
All my life I dreamt
of this moment. Now it's here
and it feels unreal.
I'd spank those kids, too,
if I were that old lady
that lived in a shoe.
I have a pokey
booger in my nose I just
can't seem to get out!
I dreamt I was in
a big house without walls or
a roof or a floor.
I did not hear the
crow today, but he did see
me and I saw him.
Sometimes the sky feels
so far away. Today it's like
weight on my shoulders.
It's like the friction
and rapport that the sky feels
when meeting the land.
My two constants, my
friends the crow and the train, I
did not hear today.
You're the lox to my
bagel, ice to my tea, the
cappu to my ccino.
Look toward the sea, the
trees. You never left Eden.
It's all around you.
Throughout this life you
are not just you, but many
different shades of you.
Another day that's
pure and perfect despite the
uphill climb I face.
See everything the
other sees through their eyes and never
go to bed angry.
Some days feel like a
magic carpet ride. Others feel
like the long walk home.
"Sanity and
happiness are an impossible
combination."
-Mark Twain
Cry, frown, furrow your
brow, fear, question, hide your eyes,
stop and smell the roses.
I kind of believe
that it takes a very brave
person to be kind.
The sky's the limit!
Or maybe it's not. Maybe
there is no limit.
This haiku's based on
real events. Names were changed to
protect the innocent.
Sing, dance, make love,
jump for joy, frolic, smile, laugh,
stop and smell the roses.
Dearest Mitt,
I'm not into your dick, so, please,
lay off my vagina.
I love dreaming the
dreams that I've dreamt over
and over again.
Nothing in this world
matters except for the things
that really matter.
Living, "I love you"
is more important than just
saying, "I love you".
I was more a
Sweet Valley High girl than a
Babysitter's Club girl.
Maybe we're not
approaching our death, but
approaching another life.
Mirror, mirror you
don't have to tell me. I'm the
coolest of all ladies!
We walk through this world
never aware of the wake
we leave in our stead.
I'd roam the earth and
skies for you. For they mean
nothing next to your love.
Live your life as if
each day were a work of art.
A work in progress.
Smell the smells, taste the
tastes, see the sights. Today is
another new day.
The crows nest near my
bedroom. We rest together.
We wake together.
Never hang your head in
the shadow of others. Your
own is dark enough.
There's no love other
than this one because I could
love no other you
I pushed a baby
out of my vagina and
it was beautiful!
I like to keep my
kids in their place; dirty, naked,
loud and happy.
The candied apple
looked beautiful and grotesque
smushed into the ground.
Thinking about the
sun and how it travels so
far to meet my face.
The heat goes into
my skin, melts my mind a bit,
comes back out my pores.
I wait, somewhat
impatiently, while the stork flies
by me yet again.
The train sounds each day
and night reminding me it's
a new day and night.
Admiring the
blue bird. She never worries
when her eggs will hatch.
Earth fades into the
trees that fade into the sky
who gives way to sun.
We make a good team.
The most unlikely of friends.
The snake and charmer.
Here's a fabulous
haiku for you, but sadly,
now it is all done.
Sometimes my writing
haiku is the only way
to say, "I love you."
And the fairy godmother
said, "Girl, get your shit together.
You're a mess!"
It's true you can't win
every race, but you can sure
in the hell try, right?
"Find your talents and
use them. It's doing nothing
that's the enemy."
I don't always fly
straight, but, you bet your ass,
I get where I'm going.
I want to run away,
but everywhere I go
my heart still follows.
We use the word lost
when soemthing's gone, but once there
it's never forgot.
I love hearing the
crackle of embers when she
smokes her cigarette.
Tell me all your stories.
I want to hear them.
Every last one of them.
If corporations
are people does that mean
people are property?
Romantic love starts
with friendship, respect and laughter.
Ends in passion.
Did you ever think
you'd be right here, where you are,
in this life, right now?
The breeze is cool.
The sun is hot. The grass is soft
and I feel heavy.
Somewhere in outer
space there's an alien life form
that thinks you're weird, too.
I think those crows were
squawking at me, but I feel
so anti-social.
Did the woman of
32, 000 years ago
cry like me, too?
It is not me who
writes these lines, but the hand of
the spirit through me.
I never felt so
close to god 'til I created
life with my lover.
I am super human.
I'm a human inside
another human.
I can't look away
from those eyes when they are
looking at me like that.
The day came in and
went out so suddenly and
right before my eyes.
A love so intense
even Morticia and Gomez
Addams would blush.
