Short Crackly Poems

winters brisk wind gloats....
how silly I look in coats
crackly raw sore throats...

The ground was full of brittle crackly things
They broke as I walked.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
I thought I was walking on lightbulbs.

I stopped walking to look and see
These things were curvy and brittle.
I put them on my fingers and wore them to dinner.
They were cicada shells

Not a big hit with others at the table....

Blue skies envelop us
The trees towering into the sky
and here I am
a leaf
drifting in the wind.

Small, curled, and crackly
I float on the breeze.

A zephyr from the west carries me to the coast.
It gently lowers me down
like a mother setting down a child
after a long walk in the park.

I am just a leaf
but I am free....

things of disbelief
...................................

the crackly voices
of ash concepts would know
the facts versus you

reality gears
mechanics of potential
to one profit thing

but old and ancient
needs that will replace money
still cry "not yourself"

"just the happened facts
self-ie-world is not the facts
understand or not"

When I met earth
She was solid
felt good between my toes

When I met fire
He was hot
crackly and exciting

When I met water
She was swell
cleansingly refreshing

When I met wind
He was cool
always on the go

Signed up
Time passed
Found out that

Earth quakes
Fire bakes
Water boils
Wind roils

Scared me

'til I real eyesed
I 'm scary, too.

Now we try to remember
to hug eachother
frequently....
