When your past smacks your present
In the face and laughs

Dear Sakura
You are our Spring’s Ohaiyou Gozaimasu
Peaking around monuments
Greeting the sun
As it climbs from behind the handshake of a District and a Commonwealth
Dipped in a tidal basin
Like a letter in a bottle
Washed upon land
You are a time capsule
A reoccurring memory
A welcoming reminder of a friendship
That deemed us worthy of such beauty Read the rest of this entry »
Last night, rather this morning, my poetical divas Rebecca Dupas, Shelly Bell, & I were up at the buttcrack of dawn on Twitter. And being the poetical masterminds that we are, we started talking about poetical prompts. The prompts were:
1. I lay awake wondering.
2. Sleep don’t come easy.
3. Counting sheep.
4. 4am.
5. Not until I write.
6. The women who could not sleep.
7. Let’s not call it insomnia.
8. The last time I dreamed.
9. If I close my eyes…
So, off to sleep we eventually went, but woke up this morning with the will to write what we discussed. It is amazing to see the angle that we all took with the same prompt. Below is my take on the situation titled “Anything but Insomnia” . CLICK HERE to get Rebecca Dupas’ version. CLICK HERE for Shelly Bell’s poem.
Oh yeh, if you feel inspired by the prompts….write a poem and put the link in the comment box below so that we can become inspired by your work as well.
So, usually I dont do love/crush/infatuation poems, but I think it is about time I express my hopeless romantic side and let the universe know how I feel. So I have been crushing on this one particular guy for YEARS!!! When I tell you that he is awesome….. it is not an exaggeration by any stretch of the imagination. Well, I decided to write this poem today because it was begging me to write it.
Sadly enough, I told him that I had a crush on him and got nothing back. If I felt like giving you the details you would offer me a drink. But just because the response to the news was weird doesnt take away from the fact that he is still an awesome person. He can still be an awesome person and not be into me, right? One thing that I did learn from the experience is to not be afraid to express how you feel. I learned how not to shut down just because how you feel about someone was not reciprocated in that immediate moment. In short…. I learned how to love.
Poem 1: Safety Net
Poem 2: You
Poem 3: Pain
Poem 4: Zodiac
Poem 5: Pusher
Poem 6: Damn
Poem 7: Difference
Poem 8: Age
So, for those who are in the dark, April is National Poetry Month. As a poet, I participate in the tradition of writing a poem a day for thirty days. Some will be Haikus, some will be mega short, and some will be epic.
I know you are wondering why I am choosing to write so many haikus for 30/30. Well, I hardly ever write haikus and have been using the same ones for like 3 years. I thought that it was about time I step out of my comfort zone and practice writing in such a small and succinct format. I figure if you cant say it in 17 syllables you will bore me with the rest of your 3 minutes. lol. I hope you enjoy. P.S. Expect different things coming from me. I am on a love spree with my poetry lately. It’s all about stepping out of my box this year.
Age

Poem 8 of 30
(Haiku)
“Age: More than numbers
Yours serves as a testament
Proof of God’s mercy”
Sincerely,
