Adorned

I always sit in the corner alone
mostly ignored, yet always adorned
I squeak
and I creak, but it appears no one knows I'm trying to speak
I've spent years banging my head on a wall
getting absolutely nowhere
I had an epiphany this morning
I'm a rocking chair

Earth (haiku)

She'll spend her last breath
Doing laps around the sun
Until they are one

Falling stars (haiku)

Zeus demands some soup
But the Big Dipper's broken
Seems some stars escaped

The Jewel of the Milky Way

The Earth is scarred
Branded
by our constant digging
The moon likens her blemishes to cheap tattoos, but he'd never tell her so
She's still spectacular, even swathed in gray
We may have robbed her of her innocence, but she's still the jewel of the Milky Way
Offensive and beautiful

Hurricane's eye (haiku)

The sky's blinding us
Only her eye offers sight
But for now it's shut

I'm a big kid

I blurt out too much
Show my hand too quick
Keeping nothing for myself

I refuse to bend
Take too harsh a stance
Ailenating everyone else

I speak without thought
Anger chooses my words
Lashing out at the tiniest ****

I can't envision a future
Choose to live in the past
I'm nothing but a big kid

Dear Jane

Letter opener
Dipped in rose petals and blood
His last words killed her
