Poetry

Haiku

 

UV light burns me 

Flames linger under my skin 

Now I am peeling 

 

Tanka

 

The pen bursts open 

The ink spills onto the sheet 

Covering it all

It’s the last piece of paper 

An essay turned art 

 

Free Verse

 

Enjoying what’s given is key 

You have no idea what it is 

If you’re lucky then you don’t

When you know then you don’t withhold 

What is had is set by perspective 

Be grateful for what’s yours 

There’s no such thing that’s better
