I am completely falling for you
I have simply tripped over your cute personality,
sweet talking and adorable jokes.
and had taken a full blown nose dive into love.
so while I'm falling, will you even stumble?...

What if I were to describe
How much it takes to keep me alive
So I can more easily survive
And in case I have to revive
Myself, I won't take a nose dive
While my path appears to be five
And two for destiny which I did contrive.

It's a happy-sad ending hour at many bars
Where the parking lots are fool of cars
Where many of these spiteful patrons arrive
And then drink over the limit and some nose-dive
Mothers against drunk driving are calling
Fix your unruly ways because it’s appalling...

Seven-thirty-seven on time
But wait!  We just stalled on a climb!
Nose dive like a swan
Boeing going gone
No more time to finish this rhyme. . .

Saint Peter has just met the wife
She's still chatting about her life
This queue's getting long
 She broke into song!
Hark!  Do  you hear Beelzebub's fife?...

Listen to poem:

Precariously poised on 
the precipitous precipice,
I pondered whether a nose-dive plummet
into the whirlpool lagoon below
was prudent, well-advised and provident.
But the angry impassive persona,
of the ever so cross porpoises,
seen purposefully prancing there
gawking up at me,
persuaded me to prudently, 
postpone the plunge....

He tried his best
to destroy it,
Shambhala,
the city in the sky.

No dark one
can touch
what the light 
controls;
so when he
dropped the bomb,
it ricocheted backwards;
sent him into 
a nose dive
to hardened ground.

Darkness will never
conquer the light;
light blinds the eyes
that reject it’s grace;
the dark collects it’s debris
to save face.

Love is a lot like swimming. 
Some people dip their foot in 
before deciding if it’s okay, 
others just nose dive straight 
into the deep end. 
I am one of those reckless divers, 
barely remembering to take a breath
before I tumble in. 
I have never done anything half assed, 
especially drowning in your love. 
I hope I’m buried disheveled, 
loved 
and full of adventures passed....

 Sun set
behind

Shadows
stretched long

Night came
Bats screeched

Clouds drift
Moon smiles

Wind blows
Trees shake

Leaves drop
They dance

nose dive
fall down

rest limp
in mud

Snakes curl
in holes

Fog comes
veils night

Earth sleeps
quiet

PURPLE SHADOWS

amethyst moonlight
farewell to warm summer nights
bathed in crystal aura


PULSE OF  LIFE

hawthorn root grows deep
anchored to Mother Earth's heart
silent pulse of life


THAT'S LIFE

high expectations
a catastrophic nose dive
getting used to this


To be absolutely correct haiku and tanka need no capitalisation or full stop.
Am altering my submissions accordingly....

Flying high unsighted 
nose dive unflighted 
true colours sighted 
you and I divided 

When all was well
was surrounded by clowns,
so when I fell 
laughter their sound 

It's all about them 
time and again
they lost a friend 
I, lost them, 
I  lost no friend 

selfish people are only on their own side,
it's simple to see when you nose dive,
deadwood you carried bringing you strife, 
said good, true colours, sound you can't sight...

From the first generation came
our strength.  Theirs was
the legacy the second generation
relinquished, too heavy

to own, and we, the third,
watchers and assessors of
these coldest moons and nights
the stars refused to illuminate,

saw the comets take a nose dive
down black holes our compass struck
a truce on.  Strange loyalties
seduce us, thumbs-up, thumbs-down.

It's so capricious a matter
that Caligula's our friend
with his chain snake-looping
the darkness, nailing us....
