Language shapes meaning
So some things cannot be said
Others should not be

You will succeed, child
Not despite, but from neglect
Hate will set you free

The storyteller
Needs confidence above all
To bend worlds to fit

#haiku #poetry #storytelling

Fog whispers through pines
Wraps them in wispy tendrils
Kisses me misty

#haiku #poetry #fog

Jagged horizon
Cloud dappled and hoary heights
The mountains await

#vss365 Very Short Story

They say that years ago Superman fell and broke his back. I hear the whole world cried for poetic injustice. That the man who flew, could no longer stand.

What a feeling that must be. To see the world from on high. To bound over mountains. If I could leave these wheels behind and walk.

Not surprised at all
I merely smiled politely
So he told it again

#haiku #poetry

Knowing it would twist
It still gave me a chuckle
So he told it again

#haiku #poetry

Catching me off guard
I laughed loudly, head thrown back
So he tells it again

#haiku #poetry

These ancient heartbeats
Pumping thick sludge, clearing veins
Wash sins from my past

#haiku #poetry

Liquid alchemy
Savior's first miracle
Brewer's yeast grows wild

#haiku #poetry #beer

Vastly underpinning
Forest roots buried deeply
Strength borne under snow

#haiku #poetry #forest

Regrettable deed
But it opened the right doors
Secrets we'll die with

#haiku #poetry #PinkySwear

Weighing and testing
Examining each to find
Perfect Christmas tree

#vss365 Very Short Story

Friday night, six years ago today, they stood outside her door. Uncertain of himself, uncertain of her, he leaned part way and she kissed him. Under twinkling LED stars, their history began when she invited him in.

"Even if it survives childbirth, the baby will live a few hours at most."

The words emptied the air from the room and for long heartbeats no one breathed. She looked up at him, uncertainty in her eyes and though he was uncertain himself he leaned down and kissed her. When she opened her eyes there was no path but tears, but he saw resolution and their future began when she spoke.

Skin still soft from sleep
Gentle kisses, roving hands
Outside world will wait

#haiku #poetry #goodmorning

Steady rise and fall
Your sleeping breath catches mine
Sweet dreams, my dear heart
