Haiku 4 You

Cleaning Haiku
#1
Wipe down the toilet
Spray bottle clicking so quick.
Cleaning can feel gross.
#2
If I have to haul
one more bag to the dumpster
I will just collapse!

#3
I discovered me!!
plastic bags filled with poems
these words are my life.

#4
Tears frenchkiss my eyes
we have a makeout session
full, deep... without lips

#5
My sister walks in
catches me crying and thinks
poems cause the pain.

INSOMINIA HAIKU
Keyboard in motion
TEN O'CLOCK I'M STILL AWAKE
I WILL REGRET THIS


Why I don't write more haiku... haiku

I hate counting you!
Syllables are tricky things
I messed up haiku.

Because Cousin Sarah asked me to

Dear Cousin Sarah... You asked me to blog and gave me the warmest hug at Neo Soul a week ago so this blog is for you. NOT ABOUT YOU, BUT FOR YOU... Keeping with the metaphor of my last poem I decided to extend it to another topic. Maybe I will have a whole Sugar Series on different subjects. The content underscored is a poem I am making up on the spot cause I don't write enough poetry. For all the sisters that have lost home girls due to whatever here goes..................... Sisterhood is the sweetest salutation my soul has known, but what happens in the silent moments behind the scripted words when the scribbles of sin seep deep into the crevasses of hearts, and swarthy secrets start to fester between friends? What happens when the darkness of shame threatens to stain the beauty of bonded kinship that is exchanged as maturation ripens our skin. How do we erase the demarcated lines designed to hinder us from extricating our pain with the companions that we once found comfort...
