Haiku and other poems

I always love to write poems, whether it is Haiku or just scribbling. Sometimes I start with word prompts while other times the words just flow. So with pen in hand here are a few of mine. The last poem was written and published in a local free newspaper when I was just 20 years old.

Do you write poems? What is your style? How do you get inspired? Feel free to leave a comment.

TULIPS

Tulips in the sun

Bright, shiny and colorful

Bring me so much joy

WRITING

When writing a book

Use your imagination

As well as your skills

DANCE

Dance to the merry tune,

Of love in May or June,

When things we see are not

Dance oh dance.

So many times, they would break up, only to get back together again. Oh, but wasn’t the making up great. Didn’t it feel like they had just met for the first time. What was it that made this time different? Was it the look on her face? Or the last words that came out of his mouth or hers? No, it was something else, something so strong, something that felt so lifeless. He pondered on what to do next. His mind wandered to all the memories they shared both good and bad. Like the time the drove from Napa Valley to southern California down Highway 1. The smell of the fresh air, listen to the ocean waves against the rocks, the coolness of the breeze. Such sweet memories. “Slow down” she would say, “Slow down you are scaring me”. This did not stop him for he was an adventurous sort of man. He loved having his...

Personality Plus

Sanguine 4. Melancholy I have not only read this book and taken the personality test years ago, but I had the privilege in going to a church Woman's conference and Florence was the guest speaker in 1996. She is an excellent speaker, and the book is quite interesting. I have taken several personality test, through the years either in school or through work.
