Desperation
Only one way out
and that way is guarded by
ninja assasins,
lions and tigers and bears
my, oh motherfucking my…

Beyond tomorrow
I have been thinking
of finding a better way
to fill my hours.
So lately I’ve been writing,
working out, and making plans.
January poems
January was
Japanese waka poems.
I used two styles:
Tanka, the common short form,
and Choka, the longer form.
D’oh 2
I had so much fun
that I forgot to write a
poem yesterday.
I need to stop forgetting
or start writing in advance.
Faith
As the night falls down,
my heart begins to settle.
No matter the gloom,
I continue to believe:
everything will be fine.
Apples or Oranges?
I could ask about
the nature of the world,
the stars in the sky,
the existence of a soul…
All manner of things:
religion, politics, truth…
But what you asked for
was an uplifting moment
so: apples or oranges?
Boxen in the mail
Pretty and shiny,
it even glows in the dark!
I hope this toy lasts
longer than the ones before.
I do play so very rough.
D’oh
I hate those moments
when I say something foolish.
I usually
realize how dumb I’m being
only after I’ve said it…
Eureka
Clarity thunders,
striking me upside the head.
Today a few things
started making much more sense.
I know the feeling
will pass in a short while.
I’m doing my best
to get my ideas down
before they’re gone forever.
I should be sleeping
As the nighttime falls
I struggle to stay awake
and finish this task.
Is it still a good thing if
I no longer enjoy it?
