This is a Haiku
I’m not good at poetry
But I’ll try it out

It is odd to think
of poems being this small.
Space for tiny thoughts!
The NYPD
brought a bomb dog to Fordham.
He ate a napkin.
My dorm often smells
like a mixture of grief and
Haikus for Peace

Will there be peace soon?
All I see is war and hate.
In time things will change.

MalachiteA Haiku by Amerus of Mairon
This black and green stone Of love and transformation's poisoned dust is death
In my universe,
My whole life is a curse,
A curse I must live.
In my universe,
My mind is very fragile,
My chin must face up.
In my universe,
All I ever feel is pain.
And I have grown numb.
I am full of dreams
And aspirations, I know
I'm going places.
Picture us without
All the makeup, just our own
Intended beauty.
You are becoming me now.
You are taking over me.
You are my body.
You are now my eyes.
You show me what I should see.
You make things so clear.
You are now my tongue.
o1.
bandaids for the earth
where she’s splitting at the seam
and soft butterfly kisses
o2.
flower crowns for every head
turned down, make lonely corners
Fall is upon us,
the cool air surprises me,
Fall Break overjoys.
Football rivalries,
The pep rallies are so tense,
Filled with school spirit.
As a child I used to write haikus
Back when we all would clap the syllables out.
They were plain, and most ended up like this:
I saw lightening
It was scary and bright yellow
It boomed all night long
I
I would write dirges
For memories that escaped-
They only return.
II
Cast away your doubts,
Casting shadows on the wall;
They only hinder.
As the moon looks down
Waxing, waning, glowing light
‘Tis good company
Beauty of the moon
Overwhelms the stars
No comparison
In the sky, flawless
Celestial perfection
Never cease to be
