everything new changed
leaving many to whisper
the coming fall feasts
ymmiJ Apr 2019
caught a whiff of you in mothers hair
as the breeze brushed my fresh baby cheek
saw a glimpse of you on the old playground
just you flowing in your own back and forth flair
felt you during junior high slow dancing around
something new and exciting, something enticing
always knowing you in hints, whispers, and glimpses
when you appeared, smelling, looking, and feeling
as I always imagined, my dreams became real

Harlequin Romance Duck
ymmiJ Mar 2019
These ducks of rivers
Such on odd looking brood
Slapping wings of  silver
Those paddles are crude


Onward on water they trudge
Upward the river they budge

Heads of a warrior band
Bobbing in the wake
In an eddy between rock and sand
Lies a respite for goodness sake

Onward they struggle
as if a mighty tug
To get this lil'gaggle
Safe warm and snug

We Have Always Been
ymmiJ Jan 2021

or even the spine to hold him up
humans being of their own kind

Haiku'd
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Is a haiku that has been haiku'd
a haiku times two

All these rules about how many to use
and how you do it too

Don't mean to be rude or crude
I get it, I really do, it's sacred art for me to

I just write what I see feel and do
no rules just me you and a haiku or two

It's a Tion Kind of Day
ymmiJ Apr 2019
As a baby I would crawl for my affection
ever prodding my way to adoration
slowly away from your abomination
As an ignorant youth I changed, isolation
Running away from everything worthy attention
Now I slowly stroll for my own gratification
Teach your babies why they crawled to being with,
exploration and vindication
that life's worth exploration

letting pressure build
whipping up frenzied panic
what they do the best

talking head pundits
spewing vile malignancies
stirring their cauldron

under constant fire
twenty four seven access
nowhere they can’t find

better to unplug
devices meaning to divide
wake up go outside

breath in his sweet air
watch that glorious sun rise
thank God your alive
