       you
               secretly
                       wishing, for
                              your writes to be
                                noticed•simple sign
                             that they have not been
                          missed•with every view
                     and every like•your popu-
               larity does spike•somewhat
          places your art on the poetry
      map•between major players,     
  you close the gap•constantly      
checking to see  who's been              
reading•you're always deli-               
ghted to see the 'yellow                      
lightning'
•a wish...                            
    for those who                             
     are writ-                    
ing      

secretly hope not only for your words to be
reaching far and wide, but also... trending
* the above does not apply to everyone here.

My friends list, you old rascal
You're sure looking fine
Dedicated to the pretty ladies on friends lists everywhere.

King of the Sun, O Son of the King
Vessel of Glory poured out for our sins
The great holy houses and mountaintops sing
  For what the Omega ends, the Alpha begins

Faith of our hearts, O Heart of our faith
   Truest of shepherds Who leads us from straying
Deliver Your children from evil's enticements
   And forgive us our sins; stay virtue from fraying

Lord of All Time, O Eternal Lord
   Thy hall is a spire no darkness can capture
Thank You for giving Your dear Son to us
   And Thy will, O God, may we accomplish in rapture
This is a Christmas poem I wrote for my Christian friends.

A friend's riddle was most indiscreet
And I finally admitted defeat
How is a bee like a 'B'?
They both sting Koreans, you see
And with that he skipped off down the street

O Death,
Most merciful god of the human race
Banisher of misery
Dissolver of mortal disgrace


     No torture chamber can hold us
     Nor slaver bind our limbs
     When our last true friend, Mister Mooncalf
     Carries us off with him
Dedicated to the quietus that finds us all.

Yellow-haired shinobi
    Hokage of our hearts
Teach us all of bravery
    With your deadly ninja arts!

How sharper than a kunai
    And mightiest by far
Uzumaki Naruto
    Konoha's brightest star!

When you're starving for some ramen
    And your chakra needs a fill
Have a bowl with Naruto-chan
    Jiraiya's got the bill!

And when old Madara's cracking wise
    And Susano'o fills the darkened skies
Remember where your true strength lies!
    With good friends like Naruto!


    Dattebayo!

Anticipation
Sun rupturing horizon
Abject reverie
Dedicated to Matsuo Bashō, master above masters.
