                               melt your love
                                let it wash over me
                                  in the yellow room
                                    as i lie in your bed
                                      i  n e e d  y o u .

The act of writing
Compels me to magic and
Elevates my soul
UPDATE: This was written before I had any idea what the difference between a Haiku and a Senryu is. I'm still a child in these departments. "Writing a Haiku" was the original title but this is not a Haiku. Therefore, after more than 1700 views, I've decided that it should be more properly titled. The title that fits best is simply this: "Writing" and it is more properly a Senryu.

It's no wonder this has been so popular here. We are writers and we know what the craft does for our souls and for the world. Nomenclature is really unimportant. What's important is the doing...

THIS IS THE INITIAL NOTES ENTRY: This is very true for me and I know it is for many of you as well. Writing is medicine for the soul and I don't know where I'd be without it.

You’re a blooming rose
I’m standing in your shadow
All covered in blush

One heart and one soul
Pure Spirituality
Serves to make us whole

This trembling earth
Spins us around
As our time ticks away
And dwindles on down

Now is the moment
We live in our dreams
Later is something
We’ve never seen

Yesterday came
But now it’s just gone
Only memories are left
Of that passing song

Tomorrow may come
But it certainly won’t last
Nothing can live
In the future or past

Am I actually in love
Or am I just addicted
Head in hand,
I hear the hum
Richard Grahn May 2017
Pick me up easy
And put me down slow
You’re making me queasy
I thought you should know

It’s not all that clear dear
Don’t know where to turn
I’m running your gauntlet
In your fire I will burn

So…

Pick me up gently
Be tender and kind
Don’t try to pretend girl
You know that you’re mine

I’ll be yours forever
Or to the end of our time
For now and whenever
Let’s dance together
