Awakening Moon
calls her tides to raise new growth-
wildflowers glow pink
One more, what the heck.
Poets write poems
They think and think
Pickup their pens, it’s over
I' sure this is not haiku, at least it's short and to the point. We poets are a funny bunch.
Sometimes my muse only sees the dark, he fills my pen with pain
Makes me write sad little lines, and makes tears fall like rain
He’s only trying to spill my heart, so I get poetic relief
He makes me think these things, but it doesn’t change my belief
I believe that I know myself, there’s no one else to blame
I keep writing with my muse, we play a poetic game
I've been spending a lot of time here lately with my muse. He made me write this one.

it’s sad to say
that nowadays
a smile
is more often
used
to hide depression
rather than
express
happiness.
