Leaving home is not always hard
But when it is....
My only hope is that the reason for my departure
Is worth it...

Choice

Is a broken heart better than a severed limb
If we heal from both with time
Yet a scar is left behind
Even though the culprit and victim don't change...

Rebecca's haikus

Under full moon nights

Sounds of empty lullabies

The wide eyed owl stares

Writing utter crap

Is not and cannot be called

Poetic license.

Literary club.

Another way to convince

Teens that they must read.

Last few days of school

Bags with books and memories

Fill my eyes with tears...

Rebecca's haikus

Blowing winds

Outside the window

Making noice.

xxx

Open doors

to enter my heart

Are now closed.

xxx

Starless skies,

The slow breeze that blows

Endlessly.

xxx

Beating drums

Of the endless song

Mermaids sing

xxx

Slow dancing

Under mistltoe

You and I.

A leaf

My perception

And so the last rays of light

Retreat into their orbed lair

Like the apple invaded by those worms

In my garden

The giant orb of warm

Slowly sank down into the liquid pastures

As if they were to answer Poseidon's yearning

For company down below the reign of solid

As the last vestige of light disappeared

So did my gaze return

And I looked away from another sunset

And the world was mundane for now.
