Off the shores of Jötunheim,
There stands a mighty gate.

Upon an ocean’s wave.
Ride the Astrol S […]

I have to get these modules done,
Required by the district.
I only have four more to go,
and then I’ll rest more easily.
I’m learning how to do cool things,
Technology is great.
But push […]

Ah, yes. Procrastinators, unite! I like the sense of “if I get this done, I can play in the sun” concept going on in here…
Nicely done!

When sunlight hits, an atom flips.
Electrons jump about.
From shell to ever higher shell.
It really makes a sight.
These little spots of polka-dots.
Must borrow from the sun.
To have their […]

Stunning telling of our solar system and the stars that seem to have no meaning but to burn and fall to make a wish on. Well done.
Please review some of mine if you would be so kind. Thanks in advance.

Siphonophore Apolemia
Creature from the land down under.
A string of vibrant light.
Ringing outward like a puddle.
Shimmer to entice and plunder,
Food by your device.
Swaying gently in the […]

Thrown back in my seat.

We often poison “those who take care of us”
fooled into believing
We know what’s is best.
We render the ground free of weeds,
nature’s way of blessing earth.
We with our monochromatic golf cours […]

Your initial and ending lines compliment each other so well. Very skillful way to bookend a poem.

Enjoyed reading this and yes know the difference between what we dream of and what we can afford. However, being crafty helps A LOT! Hope the reality will be as beautiful as the dream.

Yusuf, your song, is our song.
Song of a shadowing moon.
Finding we’re all in the darkness.
We all know the same loss.
Eclipsed by the sleepy night.
Walking in the shade of doubt.
Made by our own […]

I did a haiku too. Simple and powerful.
this is one of best haikus I’ve seen! “bonsai in a book” is honestly such a cool phrase
Haikus done right are so emotional and powerful…’bonsai in a book’ is inspired.
