Walking Refreshed (haiku)

Sometimes when I
need some fresh air I take walks
through my neighborhood.

Rashida

Aaron Michael Brown May 2020

Rashida

When did she
become
just another girl
who
I used to
know?

Boy Like Me/Man Like You

Aaron Michael Brown Apr 2020

Boy Like Me/Man Like You

Seeing that old
photo
I look just
like
my father when
he
was a young
man.

Pretty-woman

Aaron Michael Brown Mar 2020

Pretty-woman

I tried on an
outfit
that I bought at
Goodwill,
and for the first
time
I felt like a
pretty-woman.

The Job of a Poet

Aaron Michael Brown May 2020

The Job of a Poet

If I can
reach
just one person
with
the words I
write,
and let them
know
that they're not
alone;

then I've done
the
job of a
poet.

Secondhand smoke

Aaron Michael Brown Feb 2020

Secondhand smoke

I stood outside
while
you lit a
cigarette,
and inhaled the
smoke
just so I
could
talk to you
awhile.

I'm Dead to Her

Aaron Michael Brown Nov 2020

I'm Dead to Her

I waved at
Angie
across the parking
lot
but she just
kept
walking the opposite
direction;
I'm dead to
her.

Better things

Aaron Michael Brown May 2020

Better things

I've got better
things
to do than
waste
my time with
some
girl who is
not
in love with
me.

Strange Love

Aaron Michael Brown Oct 2020

Strange Love

I know
that
Papa loves
me,
but he's
got
a strange
way
of showing
it.

Thinking in Circles

Aaron Michael Brown Oct 2020

Thinking in Circles

I'm stuck
inside
of my
mind,
and I've
started
thinking in
circles.

Stranger

Aaron Michael Brown Aug 2020

Stranger

I wanted nothing
but
to be reunited
with
an old friend
instead
she treated me
like
I was a
stranger.

The Perfect Afternoon

Aaron Michael Brown Sep 2020

The Perfect Afternoon

Lying down with
you
on our couch,
blissfully
letting the afternoon
pass.

I'm broke

Aaron Michael Brown Jun 2020

I'm broke

I can't afford to
pay
the rent for this
month
because I wasted my
money
buying things I didn't
need.

This town

Aaron Michael Brown Jan 2020

This town

I'm going to
stay
in this town
for
as long as
possible,
so that I
can
be close to
you.

Thank you for this gift

Aaron Michael Brown Mar 2020

Thank you for this gift

You gave
me
a new
hat
to wear
because
my old
one
had worn
out;

thank you
for
this gift.

I was tired

Aaron Michael Brown Mar 2020

I was tired

My boss let
me
go home from
work
early because he
saw
my face, and
knew
that I was
tired.

I'm Fat & Beautiful

Aaron Michael Brown Aug 2020

I'm Fat & Beautiful

Why can't
they
see past
my
belt size
to
the person
underneath?

I'm fat
but,
that doesn't
define
who I
am.

Under This Sultry Sun

Aaron Michael Brown Jul 2020

Under This Sultry Sun

After work I
walked
all the way
home
under this sultry
sun,
so you wouldn't
have
to pick me
up.

Serenely

Aaron Michael Brown Jun 2021

Serenely

At the local
bookshop
I buried my
nose
in a good
book
just like that
today
passed me by
serenely.

Saved My Night (Haiku)

Talking on the phone
with you for two hours saved me
from spoiling my night.
