Trick a toad to tread
a taut rope, A hippo to
hop a hula hoop!
"Haiku#1" contest by Poet Destroyer A
Endless blue skies home to gulls on the wing
I'd trade a lifetime of winters for a bee's gentle sting...
Parched earth begs the debilitating heat to subside
Were I a bird, far away from summer droughts would I swing

Small humble home that I was raised
inside these walls I spent most of my days
Legroom was sparse in our tiny address
things always cluttered and sometimes a mess
We lacked riches, money was tight
sometimes we’d laugh, and sometimes we’d fight
People would ask how we lived in this way
now looking back I would not trade a day
Although we were cramped, had no room to spare
our hearts were gigantic with love to share
It was once wise to invest in steel, yup,
In days of yesteryear.
Now, they say that fine art and gold are up.
All things change with time, dear.
Then, I'd scale the steepest mountain to reach
That pinnacle of bliss.
Yep, I would without pride, to you beseech -
Anything for your kiss!
'Tis fine art in a frame - you as a girl
In a picture, so old.
Now, there's nothing I would not do, my pearl,
To hear your laugh like gold!
It's not that I am helpless
I just can't help myself,
and as your memories call
I answer, and teardrops fall.
But a dream or two ago
we'd trade a kiss hello,
a greeting of two lovers
with a new life to uncover.
In sorrow that we fell apart
my heart fumbles in the dark
in an ever-changing world
with all of life a-whirl.
Missing what was meant to be
and stug'ling with what I now see;
I see we're both be-leavers. . .
. . .leaving all behind.
Fluttered by on angel wings
only moments did you stay
a dream never fully realized
but a gift never so precious
wouldn’t trade a moment
not a tiny instant
the blessing of you
altered eternal
heart branded by your love
forever changed by you
all too soon called home
premature departure
nearly ripped me in two
but I know it’s not our end
there’s no doubt to be had
no our story's not over
we will be together
I'll hold you once again
Feel so full
Ever feel full but empty too?
Just a number at work but what you gna do?
Father at home, the bees knees, their favourite guy?
Try your best, a smile, a joke, don’t ask me why...
Empty, but yet so full.....life? Repetitious but anything but dull.
Am I ungrateful? Don’t know what I’ve got.
A trade, a Mrs, 3 kids?
I’ve got a lot..
Changed my mind... it’s not empty at all,
Take a step back, see the bigger picture.
Stand proud and tall.
A million angels sing in the sky,
but your music is more melodious;
you trade a tone so priceless and precious...
A twilight dance with you, do not deny.
The stars speak when you are near:
their tales spark within us fresh fire
as we drown in the streams of desire...
Keep me in your arms of love my dear.
Over the years, you remain ever true.
You are a treasure no weigh can measure;
a pool of passion, purpose and pleasure...
I pledge my love and loyalty to you.
Our Smoldering Factory Town
free trade, a brick around
It’s gurgling, swollen neck. Surrounding
gray quiet smolder, evokes,
Once thriving factory smoke
A Crumbling horoscope
once paid it's worker's, soaked
in quiet desperation.
We are it's rusty antiques
sinking ships on outsourced seas
a swollen, bailout casualty
a fallow field, a dustbowl breeze
While children sew our sneakers
In bananna sweatshops, cheaper
hands can make, children's fate
wont matter, they'll dig deeper.
