Of Love's Liberating Warmth

Infatuation faded
Damnation avoidance
By my heart's sol
Hesitation no more

Re-Runs

I wrote this thinking about [adult swim].  Because I've seen every American Dad and Family Guy episode at least 20 times.  To be fair to [adult swim], I have been watching them since I was 12 in 2002.

A re-run

The tired husband's predictable routine

A fizzing white noise

A poiseless king

Can't they let sleeping shows lie?

Springtime Heralds

Chirps echo on bark
Life blossoming in dead trees
Breaking Winter's Deaf

The Indoorsman

Lacking the daisy's call
In my bed, I fell lazily
Blinded only by the ceiling-fan sun
Bland, sweet, invisible sweat
The indoorsman
Shall retreat
Forever
Inside

Read My Poetry On Another Site!

I have a poem published on The Social Poet.  Hilariously, I am the least social author on the site.

You can read "The Break-Up Mask" here.  It was published a few days ago, but I procrastinated.

Child Soldiers

Child Soldiers
Would they be better off
As School Prisoners?

A soldier's death can be fought
And conquered, at least humanely expected
Madman's fury, however, cannot

Yellow Teeth

Your yellow teeth
A sign of fellow sin
Left behind

Ambi-blonde

This is to all the weird shades of brown/blonde/red that women like to dye their hair these days. 

Just a little haiku.

Ambiguous Blonde
Blatant lies or subtle truth
Hair-dye mysteries

Con-Science

Straight line conscience
Horrible nonsense
It is a plane extending infinitely
With destinations of infinite sublimity

A Poet's Sword

I'm a pretty big fan of jidaigeki.  Which is codeword for I like Akira Kurosawa films.  I like Hideo Gosha and Sword of Doom too. 

Interestingly, this is a poem about a Japanese samurai proverb (I guess?) that isn't in haiku.  Which would have been an appropriate choice.

Pen & Sword
In Accord
The stained poems of warlords
Sowing profound dischord
Beautiful Words
Atrocious Death
A poet's sword?

Will you quiver knowing your death will be recounted in meter?
A trophy of history's leaders?
Shamed for sub-par swordplay
Casualty to literary mainstay
Knowing this, will your blade delay?
Or accelerate?
For salvation
