Haiku Poetry - Part 3

I posted Haiku Poetry - Part 2 and Haiku Poetry - A Few Samples already.
In keeping with my promise, here are today's poems; tomorrow I will post Haiku Poetry - Part 4!

intricate designs
crystalize on the cold glass
Jack Frost works again




baby's sonogram
technological beauty
photographs of life



a winking eyelid
lets me in on a secret
unspoken words tell

It seems like I am having some trouble getting comments...I know that some people have left me some, and I get emails about them, but Google may have been making more changes, and so I don't know how to view them...

If anyone has information about this, please email me or leave a comment on Poetry Perfected's Google+ page. Thanks!

Haiku Poetry - Part 2

I gave you a short introduction to Haiku poetry in Haiku Poems - A Few Samples, and so today I am posting a few more. In fact, I think I will post three a day for the next week. So, stay tuned tomorrow for Haiku Poetry: Part 3!

Here are today's poems:

the candle's bright flame

flickers in its holder

cracking the glass

the rouge on her cheeks

matches the red gloss on her lips

a prostitute's face

the soft white tissue

gives comfort to my nose

its texture's chafing

As always, I LOVE getting comments, and will reply to each one that is left for me.

I apologize for the CAPTCHA authentication. I don't like doing these, either! But, I have no control over this...

Haiku Poetry: A Few Samples

Haiku poetry is easy to write, consists of three lines, and usually follows the 5-7-5 syllable pattern. The third line generally offers some type of "surprise" or something that is unexpected.

For more information on Haiku poetry, read "How To Write A Haiku Poem".

Here are a few samples of Haiku poetry that I have written:

x-ray vision
fortune tellers claim to have
cannot see cancer



tick tock goes the clock
the second-hand rounds its course
non-digital time



flesh decays quickly
exposed to the elements
flies don't go hungry


As always, I LOVE getting comments, and will reply to each one that is left for me.

Life Is Like A Kite

Life is like a kite;

It has its ups and downs.

It has its good and its bad times;

It has its smiles and its frowns.

Sometimes, like a kite

That gets caught up in a tree,

Life catches you and sticks you

And it is hard to break free.

But, finally, it does,

Sometimes with a little effort,

...sometimes, suddenly.

Sometimes, like a kite

That glides throughout the sky,

Life also flows quite smoothly,

But quickly passes by.

But sometimes it flows slowly,

Depending on the wind’s strength,

And, like a kite string, extends to any length.

Life is also like a kite

Because it’s enjoyed overall

And even though it has its rough times,

It, like a kite string, can be a real ball!

Life is like a kite...

Sometimes it’s low, sometimes it’s high.

But life is really like a kite

because not everyone gets it on their first try.

Long Time Friend

The once known friend and confidante of mine

has faded away during a period of time.

The emotions we previously expressed so openly and true

are now masked by the person that I once knew.

Our attitudes are different, perpetrated by a future cause,

never to be the same, as it once was.

The opinions we shared are not similar anymore;

our views may not ever be like they were before.

Situations have changed, drastically, fast.

Realization emits that some friendships don’t last.

It’s surprising to me to see just how life’s evolved;

we are not eagerly attempting to get our problems solved.

Enthusiastically dreaming of attaining many goals,

the ambitious pursuance has tainted our souls.

I remember the past vividly, and recall being best friends.

I now ponder the future, and whether we will ever be close again.

We used to share private thoughts and know we were understood right,

yet to voice anything now seems like such a fight.

I know that people do drift apart, sometimes, eventually...

But, this soon, I did not expect it to happen to us, you and me.

Perhaps the memories we each have within of our yesterdays

Shall stir in our hearts, bringing us back to some of our old ways.

As I presently think of all future changes to occur,

I’m hoping against hope to be free, like we once were.

Sensing our once best friend relationship

will never come to a complete, final end,

I shall bid you farewell for now, 
my one-time confidante, and long time friend.

Advice + A Poem For My Son, "J"

J, I wrote this for you on April 29, 1993. I don’t know if I ever gave this to you....but I am giving it to you now, and to the world, too!

J, my son, your time has now come

--- and mine, too, for that matter.

Now listen closely, and understand these points,

For what I’m saying is not meaningless chatter.

You’re leaving home --- my how you’ve grown ---

And are about to be alone in this world.

Please accept gratefully the following advice,

And live by it, as you should.

Think before you speak.

Look before you leap.

Be friendly and kind; never be obscene.

Be generous to others; never be mean.

Beware of those who will use you.

Be strong, sure, and steady.

Do not procrastinate;

Always be ready.

Listen carefully, with a wise ear.

Do not believe everything you hear.

Spend your money wisely, on things that you need.

At least once a day, do a good deed.

Persevere, and don’t let life get you down.

Wear a warm smile; try not to frown.

Remain determined and ambitious; your rewards will be great.

Always be punctual; never be late.

Do not discriminate, nor treat people bad.

Be happy to be alive; try not to be sad.

Remember your friends, and your family, and keep them close to your heart.

Always --- always --- finish anything you start.

Do not borrow, and do not lend.

Do not fight, nor contend.

Discipline yourself to reach each goal.

Strive for excellence, but don’t taint your soul.

Accept disappointment; take it in stride.

Face confrontations head-on; try not to hide.

Enjoy yourself, and indulge once in awhile.

Be cautious of those who are filled with guile.

Treat others the way you’d want them to treat you.

Above all else, be honest and true.

If you follow this advice, you’ll never have to pay the price

That bad an unlawful people do.

Instead, happiness will be yours through and through.

Please remember all I’ve said,

And store it forever, in your head.

For, now, my dear and precious son,

The time, for you, has finally come

To be on your own, to shed your dependent shell,

And, for me, from my heart, to bid you farewell.

Here, for you, is one last rhyme.

Carry this poem all the time.

When you are feeling down or blue,

Read it again, and remember

That I LOVE YOU.

Sincerely from,

Your friend,

Your Mom.

xxxxoooo

My Relationship Dream Fulfilled

I now have a relationship and a friendship that is true.

No fights, no secrets, and no lies---
there’s nothing bad between me and you.

There is only caring, sharing, and love,

And those come straight from the heart.

We have so much love between us

That nothing seems to keep us apart.

When you’re not with me, I am waiting

For the time for us to be together,

And when the time comes to be with you,

I want those moments to last forever.

When we are separated from each other,

I long to feel your gentle touch,

Your body close, your sweet warm kisses;

Whispering, “I love you very much.”

For I do love you, with all my heart,

And this kind of love I am going to keep,

And because you are very dear to me,

My love for you is deep.

I will always love you, until the very end,

And even then, from that time on;

My love for you will never fade;

It’s going to last an eternity long.

And when we are up there in Heaven,

Lying side by side, in love,

We will know that we’ve fulfilled each other,

And received our blessing from Almighty God above.

But, until the day that we join together,

Until the day we shall see the light,

We don’t need to worry or feel afraid,

Because things always have a way of turning out right.
