Love and Hate
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
I don't know a lot about love

But I do know a bit about hate

It's not something you fall into

It's something you create

Moonlight haiku
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Shapeshifters beware
Even men will howl tonight
Bewitched by moonlight

Point of view
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
This man thinks what he sees is his
Whether it human or vegetable 
even water's up for dibs
This man will shed plenty of blood for dirt
Then burn invisible borders into the earth
This man knows he's invincible
This man believes he has principles

This man has a different view
He's humbled by nature and resists the coup
This man won't shed blood for dirt
He knows there's nothing worth that kind of hurt
This man understands life is finite He's grateful for each day and night
This man knows he's invisible
This man believes he has principles

To someone I know
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
You don't know, but I do and it's fun to watch you dance
Believing I'm appeased and that we still have a chance

You've been dragging around my corpse for years
Entertaining yourself with my body while I brush aside tears

I hate you ya know
It's that deep rooted kind of hate too
I resent your every breath and when you take your last one
I will not miss you
A little hate poetry...

Jewelry Box

Rings gone green, cracked pearls
Vacant locket and drab gems
My jewelry box

Wtf is wrong with humans?
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
What a foolish and evil thing to do

To strap a couple bombs to you

Run into an airport and attack

Thinking God's got your back
No disrespect to anyone lost in this tragedy.

Teamwork
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
My motto is keep writing
but I forget to read
Which takes away from others
what I also need
So thanks for taking time
I may not have taken for you
I promise to be more thoughtful
and at least enjoy the view

Stars think...
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
We look for guidance

From a sky born of chaos

Stars think we're insane

Pity likes
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Some people think my writing's good
Others think it bites
It's fine with me which one you choose
Just please no pity likes

Self portrait
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Writing is like painting a portrait

of what makes this vessel me

And then forcing it on display

for nobody to see

Forsaken
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
I will reach for a moment
I will crouch for a dream
I believe in almost nothing
But I'll give you all of me

I won't forsake you
I won't allow you to live in vain
I want to believe in everything
But I need you to do the same

Dracula (haiku)
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Poor Count Dracula
He nicked himself while shaving
But doesn't know it
Aug 2021 · 209
Adorned
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
I always sit in the corner alone
mostly ignored, yet always adorned
I squeak
and I creak, but it appears no one knows I'm trying to speak
I've spent years banging my head on a wall
getting absolutely nowhere
I had an epiphany this morning
I'm a rocking chair

Earth (haiku)
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
She'll spend her last breath
Doing laps around the sun
Until they are one

Falling stars (haiku)
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Zeus demands some soup
But the Big Dipper's broken
Seems some stars escaped

The Jewel of the Milky Way
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
The Earth is scarred
Branded
by our constant digging
The moon likens her blemishes to cheap tattoos, but he'd never tell her so
She's still spectacular, even swathed in gray
We may have robbed her of her innocence, but she's still the jewel of the Milky Way
Offensive and beautiful

Hurricane's eye (haiku)
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
The sky's blinding us
Only her eye offers sight
But for now it's shut

I'm a big kid
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
I blurt out too much
Show my hand too quick
Keeping nothing for myself

I refuse to bend
Take too harsh a stance
Ailenating everyone else

I speak without thought
Anger chooses my words
Lashing out at the tiniest ****

I can't envision a future
Choose to live in the past
I'm nothing but a big kid

Dear Jane
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Letter opener
Dipped in rose petals and blood
His last words killed her
Aug 2021 · 189
No pressure
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
When writing don't take yourself too seriously

Try to keep it fun

That's what I always tell myself

As I reload my gun

The Don
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
God you're a dolt
You just blather on about stuff you know nothing about
Think you're the boss, when you're really a tool
Convinced you're a genius, but the world knows you're a fool
You preach from the sewers and think you're supreme
But you're truly just a narcissist who's insecure and mean
So happy you're gone
Hopefully we're not as dumb as before
Cuz I'm pretty certain we'll be seeing you in 2024

Sun Sick
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
The sun calls in sick
Clouds rush to cover her shift
No sunshine today

Follow Through
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Crafty man
Can you build me a boat that's not made of sand?

Sunny girl
Can you quell my demons and bring light to my world?

You my love
What can you do?
Promise to love me forever and simply follow through

Sunrise
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
The sun takes her place
Nature's actors prep their lines
Songs ring out showtime
Since I ******* up my original morning haiku, had to write another.

Cloudy Daze
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
The sun's a pothead
She puffs on her pipe all day

Home
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Suddenly out of nothing there was a big bang
And a vacuum gave birth to a planet of flames
She finally cooled down after millions of years
Her rage turned to sorrow and inconsolable tears
She wept so much water covered the land
She nearly drowned herself before life even began
The rest we all know, or have beliefs of our own
How this rock went from nothing, to water, to home
Aug 2021 · 201
small Talk
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Velcro does not work
Scotch tape doesn't either
I've drowned my sorrows
in ashes and ether
In life people come and go
at their leisure
Ask how you are, hope you're well
They mean neither

Crescent Moon (haiku)

But the moon's not in the mood
Grudgingly she grins

Eternity

Choking (haiku)
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Choking on your words
Tried swallowing them for years
Time to spit them out
Aug 2021 · 325
Slow down
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
I'm so hungry
I'm so high
Eyes are blurry
I know why
Should I worry
Or deny
That we just hurry
Till we die

Look Up
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Stars are always there
Some nights we get a free show
Make sure you look up

Thunder
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Zeus lost his temper
Threw lightning at his father
And slammed doors all day
Aug 2021 · 261
Way back down
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Please let me out of this Jack in the box
My spring is tightly wound
So kindly grab the lever
and just spin it around
Soon I'll pop up sprightly
but surely with a frown
Then I'll gasp for some fresh air
before you stuff me way back down

Genghis Khan
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
A tower of petals is not built to last,
but a Tower of Pizza can

The Statue of Liberty symbolizes just that
Yet she doesn't even have a free hand

The colloseunms were where the masses would go
To watch the most unholy acts unfold just for show

Churches were built to help the poor and the lame
But they were also quite fond of sentencing women to flames

The great Wall of China can still be seen from space
But it couldn't even keep Genghis Khan out of the place!

The Yin Dynasty should be really be red in the face

And so should the whole human race
A bit of fun. It actually took time and creativity.

Blueberry Porsche
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
All around your blueberry porsche
I saw a bunch of people
And oh, the fun you were having of course
****! What a weasel

Irradescent aliens (haiku)
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Transparent yet veiled
With tendrils cloaked in daggers
Jellyfish mingle

Pluto
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Neptune's behaved well
Still Pluto's been just as good
But no one trusts dwarfs
Aug 2021 · 528
Mankind (haiku)

When the last tree falls
And the seas swell with plastic
We'll have done our part

Addicted to Poetry
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
I wish I could write a great piece and then chill for a few

Instead of scrounging each day to create something new

Every poem I write literally makes me jones for more

Is it the poet or the addict in me?
I really can't be sure
Aug 2021 · 589
Ark

Ark
All hope is not lost
Though the ship is sinking fast
Apes and chickens first

I once knew a man
Who was shattered but caring
He died but still lives
Aug 2021 · 540
Soup du jour
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Not sure if you're hungry, but
here's every word you just said

I will spoon-feed you each profanity as you lay in your bed

Let them set your bloodstream ablaze and go straight to your head

You can eat my words too because I'm overfed
Aug 2021 · 713
Adam and Eve
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Poor Adam and Eve
They simply wanted to learn
And for that they burned
Aug 2021 · 323
Me
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Me
Insignificant and insightful
Delirious yet delightful
Neither spirited nor spiteful
Both frightening and frightful
Aug 2021 · 252
I'm sorry
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
You need so much
I don't have it to give
I'm not sure if I can feel anymore nevermind live
Part of me worries that I'm dead
or at least the most important part of me is
You deserve so much
Yet I have nothing to give
Aug 2021 · 254
Sad
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
Sad
I always feel sad
Sometimes I pretend I don't
So others feel good

I wish

I wish I knew what I was doing
comprehended what I've done
was aware of where I'm going
and what I might become

Frozen haiku
Zoe Mae Aug 2021
In a frozen land
The sun is iridescent
As it creeps towards home
