Mike Martin Poet Haiku

Listen to poem:

Lost - a Prequel

whatever would be
the point of intervention
what good would it do

i know where they are
i know right where i lost them
so then are they lost

the meaning of lost
seems to be ambiguous
what a sketchy word

you can't find your keys
and so therefore you lost them
i know where they are

so then are they lost
lost to you but not to me
sketchy yes indeed

on the other hand
i lost it at the racetrack
i know where it is

so then is it lost
i think i see a pattern
starting to emerge

if i lost my cash
i can't ever get it back
it was all my fault

if you lost your keys
you just ask Saint Anthony
make sure you say please

Edlynn Nau August 28, 2015 at 5:38 PM Love it! Fun thing to write about as we are all in "lost and found" mode. We even lose sleep! SUGGESTION/TYPO/TWEAKS?: 4th vrs., 3rd line...I think a typo? Know(s) plural to singular? Hope your Bubbles is found again or always in your heart <3 [google Pebblebee]. Thanks for this one Mike! I enjoyed it.
