#3 poems on Hello Poetry

LN Apr 2014

"Use more symbolism in your works," they critiqued.
I replied, "I don't need to,"
because he, who i write about,
represents a far greater part of me
than they ever cared to comprehend.

My works are what I believe in,
and that is in writing about
what means most to me.

He is enough.

he is enough.
this is a weird 'poem' but its 3 am and my eyes are heavy
heart is heavier as i let it all sink into my chest

21st Century Haiku Part III

summer in the park
kids hopscotching on pavement
dad checking email

the oldest known song
carved on a lover's tombstone
- “pretty much YOLO”

digital tombstone
her face no longer ages
she is immortal

relaxed at the beach
at home - panicking mother
phone dwells in the lake

so long out of touch
childhood friends reunited
- thank god for Tinder!

Napowrimo 27/30

Just say ew

I drank the alcohol, expecting something.
boy was I let down, when I got nothing.
No silly laughter, or grand horror story.
No youtube video, or easy talk for me.
Just a headache or two and a feeling of suffocation.
Just a scolding from people, and a dizzy sensation.
The bottle looked nice, and tv shows made it seem fun,
but after 3 gulps, I just felt like a street ***.
So I said goodbye to armpit beer,
and I assure no rose wine here.
*** is for pirates,
much too complicated for me.
I'm done with heartache alcohol,
as you can plainly see.

How do people even get addicted to that nasty stuff?
