We humans can't win
Apollo is the hot god
Of random haikus
I bought a cactus. A week later it died. I got depressed because I thought Damn, I am less nurturing than a desert.

When Apollo dies
there will still be heat and song:
humans made the gods.

Apollo fell from
the skies to Earth, a fire
stone, not made by us.

Who made the quarries
that we mine for strength, which we
deplete like forests?
Instead, he said, Brother! I know your hunger.
To this, the Wolf answered, Lo!

Falls on the land where we live
Timey wimey stuff

Through madness I bloom -5
Through sanity I stagnate -7
I am not quite real -5

Flies in majesty.
Crashes into the blueness.
And leaves with a catch.

My attempt at a Haiku about an Osprey!

Unavoidable
Swift retribution takes you

You stain like smoke on
lungs, I just can't seem to cough
you out of my mind.

Her brain was hungry
She ate too many large words
They slowly choked her.

It is yellow, right? :)
Smiling on some sentences :) :) :)
It also cry, right?
I love Koku.
He is damn cute and should be the main character
and not some lazy old man that supposedly genius but a sucker in his own life.
Koku is Koku.
Koku is CUTE.

mustard fields

Sheets of yellow blend
into the fog, over my
winter morning tea

regularly went cuckoo."

My fingers do their

from cliffs, let's jump eyes open
and never look back.

there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

All I know, is that admitting that I'm bi was the only time I ever felt like I was truly myself and it really freed me from the eternal depression/prison I felt like I was trapped in.. and figuring that out really explained why I found emo girls so unbelievably alluring.
