Ruminations

My shadow's split, just like my mind
I'm just as cruel as I am kind

My preference for some things could be taken out of context
But that doesn't necessarily make me any more complex

Don't Worry, Be Happy

My life story in four lines:

To rhyme in perfect verse
can truly be a curse.
Indeed, it could be worse.
I think I'll be a nurse.

Change in plans?

I feel bad because I chose limericks to be
The next form of poetry we attempt to free
From societal constraints
And personal restraints
But since The Char hates them we could move on to something that rhymes with "be"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like couplets. Or tercets.

Yeah, limericks are hard.

I Hate Limericks

because I fail at creating them.
They fill my soul up with nasty phlegm.

Move-In Day

When one arrives on campus, what else would one expect,
But rejoicing and excitement from old friends the past year met!
Alas not everything in life goes as planned...
And with mother nature's wrath at hand,
One receives naught more than a broken printer and your pillows all soaking wet.

Unhappy Endings

Ten little crickets jumping to the moon;
Down by the waterfront coral swallows croon.
Frog leaps from the bank to a lily pad...
Suddenly an earthquake! Now frog is dead.
So much for pleasantries spoken of too soon.

Testing... testing...

Mother bought me a gown
And once on she put on a frown
But I expected this mess
From the fluff of the dress
I put the wretched thing on upside-down

New Style!!!

One final haiku
I think seventeen is good
Let's try limericks

I Can Has?

I feel compelled to
Write something to compel you
To send me cookies

JSYK

Insomnia bites.
Watching dawn break every day
Sucks like corner hos.

Deprecation

Killing me softly:
Is it the sun on my wall;
Or the vacant stares?

My bad....

Writing a haiku:
Your mind explodes with excitement!
Then, you miscount beats.

The Hardest Part

Giving everything
And wanting naught in return
But needing it all

Wake

I care about things
I don't fully understand,
such as your feelings.
