Three College Haikus (half marathon #10)
Tuition is high.
FAFSA owns my soul. Maybe
I’ll be free one day.
Don’t buy the textbook!
Three-hundred is too much for a
Book you’ll never use!
What’s that sound? Oh, no!
Your new roommate has a boyfriend…
Quiet hours aren’t real.
3pm
Family fun and sunlit days
Stirring in me songs of praise
My God, who brightens up my days
Has poured upon me endless grace
The darkness somehow melts away
Barely now a memory
The weeping passed when morning came
– I will love him all my days
Who can tell the stars to set?
Who gives me each and every breath?
Only God who I adore
Who gives me hope for what’s in store
Oatmeal in Heaven
A simple meal
Reminds me of early days
Uncomplicated mornings
Simple as oats
Pour, mix, stir, and wait
Nothing else
Straightforward meal
Simple as oats
Here I am preparing oatmeal
My mother’s breakfast
Unsophisticated woman
Simple as oats
I miss her so much
Every lone day
Mixed emotion feelings
Simple as oats
Mom, Happy Birthday in Heaven
(Pantoum, Hour 8 @Mejia 6:00 p.m.)
Today I’ll Walk
Today I’ll walk with meekness
I will find strength in humility
I will put my best foot forward
And be the best that I can be
I will not linger in the negative
I will stand tall and walk with pride
Knowing that my Father in heaven
Walks daily by my side
A brother or sister
Whom ever they may be
May need a helping hand
So make sure you let them see
The Grace of God that leads you
And helps you get back up
When all else has failed you
And you’ve drank the bitter cup
It’s by example and true love
For one another, gets us through
Today I will walk with tenderness
And hope that you do too
To my Mother
In times of glee
In times of sorrow
You stuck with me
Through dawn of tomorrow
Beautiful smile
Eyes of love
Had me thinking all the while
You came from up above
To my mother
A woman so great
A superhero and friend
She is irreplaceable.
Lemonade
She squeezes me like a lemon
In her hurry and her haste
Which only makes me sour
In the heat of summer days
If she would only add the sugar
Teaspoon at a time to taste
Then pour me into a glass unused
And send me on my way
Image Two – Prompt Nine
The corner of paradise looks so inviting
Gazing down from heights above
Daydreaming about daydreaming down there
With a sigh I welcome reality again
An Adventure
We’re going on a trek
through civilized Middle Earth.
Do you see the winding path?
Raised boards over the wilderness.
Fangorn creeps close
but- Haste!
Carefully step.
Do you see it?
Misty Mountains
rising up, hiding secrets.
Yet, here lies
Gondor’s Limb
waiting to be restored…
in the waters of the Anduin..
It lives in Hope.
Lovers
I’m closing my eyes
Stepping into ur space
Coming closer to ur face
I feel u watch me
U moisten ur bottom lip
And bend ur neck
Grabin my hip
Meet me half way
Shuttin ur eyes
They meet and press
Push and kiss
U push ur way thru my lips
Dancing together
Teasing each other
Suck on ur lip
Lick it and kiss
Lick me and kiss
give me sweet bliss
Play in circles
Play in strides
Just play around- inside
Ur hands explore
Mine caress
U touchin under my dress
Excited lips push
Tongues runnin wild
Eyes meet eyes
Thoughts agree
U say: come with me..
