In a frozen land
The sun is iridescent
As it creeps towards home

Crash boom bam
Smash zoom scram
Mad I am
For hash and ham
I do like smoking hash, but I don't eat pork. I admit it's delicious, but the way they raise them is unbelievably cruel.

Can I chop off your head so I can pick your brain?
You look kind of inspired and somewhat sane
Perhaps you have something clever to say?
An original metaphor that isn't cliche
Some snappy line that ropes people in
And gets them to scroll all the way to the end?
If you're reading this, we must have succeeded
Sorry everyone for feeling cheated

Butterflies and kings
One empress of pure beauty
One despot of ash
Haiku challenge

Toss out some bologna and see if it sticks
Throw time at the wall and see if it ticks
***** onto paper to see how it reads
Cut yourself with a stapler and let the words bleed
Spit on the canvas and smear it around
Build up your masterpiece, then burn it down
Leave your fingerprints in color
Don't live black and white
There's a million ways to create
There's no wrong way to write

The sun's rays beat down
Turning flowers into ash
Butterflies beware

I jumped ship long ago
Sorry you were the last to know
It's seriously not you, it's me
You're rolling your eyes, that old line, I see
But this time it's true, it's really not you
I think that I'm shattered and have run out of glue
Not sure if I can feel anymore
I'm always so numb
Pretty sure scar tissue's what my heart's become
I'm sorry I can't give the love you feel
I'm sorry I can't feel the love you give
I'm sorry about my serious love deficiencies
And my unwillingness to live
