labyrinth

the only way out
is through
but you have to remember to leave
because it's easy to get stuck
david bowie wants you to get stuck

Speaking the Same Language

I have to wonder,
Although not to criticize,
Why all the haikus?

Ode to Oreos

My dear Oreos
My lifelong friends

We've been through a lot
Broken apart
Dipped under
And licked clean

But I'll never leave you
Oreos, my dears

Even when you come
In packages that seem
To never soak up
Enough milk

I'll stick to you
Like you stick to my teeth

Haiku

I’d like to think that
this poem will stay with you
all day, but the snow!

Linked

“I want to be your shell,”

he said.

"I’m an octopus,”

I said,

and inked away.

Another Haiku

We like to choose what
Distracts us. Too bad you read
This poem. Sucker!

Anti-Poem Haiku

You're reading these lines
Looking for beauty. But look
At those birds up there!

By Owen

Farting in bed

is the only good thing
about sleeping alone.

teeth in friends

That's where you are
& that's where you've been
& the times have changed over and over again

But you still sleep on pillows
& you still bite your friends
Finding tastes you never knew
Tasting blood
& tasting ends
Of times & lives & highs
You never knew you'd have

& you want things you had

& you love the things you know

But that's where you were
And here's where we are

FISH poem

fish are neat animals
or maybe just goldfish
I've heard they can grow
as big as their tank allows

I know someone with goldfish
that are four inches long!
that's not very big for some things
but for a goldfish that's pretty big

I wish I could grow
as big as the world allowed
but I think then,
I might be only four inches small
