Excerpt 3:

When you walk by the Sun hides behind the Moon
Urging her to introduce him.

Your smile makes the Sun blush.

He gets embarrassed so he tip toes over the horizon

Stealing one last stare before setting.

You make boys of great men.

Condition of Education (Haiku)

Curious Query
Quote: “Is our children learning.”
No, no they are not.

This is a verbatim quote from George Walker (Dubya) Bush. He was commenting on the condition of public education. So sad…

Chemistry

She is of the finest shades of brown,

A caramel complexioned goddess,

Tall and slender to the eyes

But voluptuous to the touch.

Her hair curls beyond her shoulders,

Her smile, the exclamation point to what the world knows—

She is beautiful! As soon as I press my gaze upon her,

My heart double dutches,

My smile checks itself in the mirror, then postures confidently

And my entire being acknowledges and welcomes attraction.

Insecurity (Haiku)

Do not listen when
Insecurities hunger.
They would eat us all.

Sunflower

Flowers are
hopeless romantics
they stretch
and grow upwards
trying to
reach the Sun.

Today,
I am your flower
Reaching for the sun,
as if there wasn't
sky and space between us.

Fountain of Youth (Haiku)

He dipped in her

fountain of youth. I wonder

does he feel younger?

The Problem with Love Poems

Isn’t that I wrote her one too many

It’s that she’s also a poet

And never wrote me any.

Dear Haiku

Haiku short and blue
So sorry I could not say
What I wanted too…

Nat Turner (Haiku)

Why did you do it?

(Cool, clear, calm and collected)

Cuz God told me to.




Background:
