Sorry. I took a break for a bit. We had a baby shower and things got busy. Life happens. Right? Anyways, I bring you today’s haiku:
between sound is youth
forever a cool highway
happy universe
inspiration
Poem
magic time found a way through
my portals of space
it is shiny inside my pleasant caves
nothing to worry about in here
all is quiet and calm now
let it go no matter what they say
or how they may think
because it’s all in your head
red sunset casting silhouettes
upon the trees
i miss the tree that once grew with me
we were friends and companions
but that time is gone
so i must be moving on
feel that yearning to fix the gutters
of my mind
wishing to be driving
on the mother road
Daily Haiku
Hooray for walking
I’m sweating and it feels neat
Cold water tastes great
Steal This Poem and Improve Your Life…by Chris Noe
Steal This Poem and Improve Your Life
A false livelihood is among us here
They put her in a corner over there
Rape is a real sickness fueled by pressure
Communication is evaporating
We all want to be heard under street lights
That shine our thoughts and awaken reality
Life’s highways lead to unbelievable places
The warmth and comfort of these words
“It’s gonna be okay” is all you need to hear
Yet horror surrounds the peace in our hearts
There’s no way to escape the jaws of pain
When your best friend discounts your existence
From their world permanently
Or when the girl you once loved suddenly stomps on your soul
Who steals your identity?
Grandmother dies without saying goodbye
Your baby leaves this earth before you even get to say hi
Your loneliness leads you to painkillers and whiskey
To mask the agonies of anxiety and despair
Your therapist can no longer help you
And tells you to just move on
The bullying becomes too much to handle
Humiliation
Social media captures and suffocates you
Until there is no you
Then madness feels like the answer
Remember to hear the music of poets
To listen to the words that speak to you
Music saves
They are sounds the soul needs to hear
To look in the mirror and see you as someone
Who matters in this world
Pick up the phone and call
Reach out to family and talk
Sleep won’t fix it
Drugs won’t fix it
Solitude won’t fix it
Instead
Walk along the beach
Listen to the waves
Feel the warm sand run through your toes
Stroll down the sidewalk
On a sunny day and soak up the fresh air
Smile at strangers
Do what makes you happy
Strum your guitar strings
Free your mind from cerebral slavery
Do not hesitate to fulfill your dreams
One day at a time
Find laughter at a zoo
Watching children feed the goats
Visit a support group and listen to their stories
Learn to let go of the past
Forgive yourself
Love that person in the mirror
Wave at your reflection in the pond
You are never alone
The world is filled with kindness
Remove those regrets
Fill your emotions with laughter
And compassion
Reach out and never let go once you’ve
Grabbed a hold of true love
And it will carry you far
The rest of the way
On your life’s journey

If I had to choose 3 poets who have inspired me to become a writer, I would choose e.e. cummings, Rumi and T. S. Elliot.
Below is an example of some of e.e. cummings finest work. It is an uplifting poem. He preferred to ignore traditional rules of grammar and punctuation. He also used a lot of lowercase letters. Nonetheless, I wrote my first poem in high school because of him. I enjoy free verse, no rhymes and curious stanzas……all of which make me happy!
i thank You God for most this amazing. . .
by e.e. cummings
i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun’s birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any–lifted from the no
of all nothing–human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
next time….I will post a wonderful selection from the great Persian Poet….Rumi
