Haiku Poetry Essay, Research Paper


Haiku


Can’t write poetry


I bang my head on the wall


Endless frustration


Another Haiku


Hey, this is easy


I could do this all day long


My new fav-o-rite


Happened this Evening


A young crippled deer


Sees me but isn’t afraid


I watch in wonder


The Trip


We’re going on a trip to the next dimension


Sitting and waiting now for it to happen


Five of us speak in anticipation


Forty-five minutes later we stand up and laugh


At the ceiling, at each other, at nothing


Jason thinks he is shorter by half


We run around the room and rediscover the world


Two-year-olds in our twenties, happy and free


Our minds flying, the wings finally unfurled


One sees the colors, one feels everything, one dazed


Two play together like children loving life


We see clearly now, wiped away the haze


Calmer now, we talk of things silly and profound


We enjoy each other and love each other


Five friends, togetherness the only sound


Still gone now, but close enough to sleep if we try


Conversation has died out, too tired to talk


Each of us retreats into his own mind

Songs of Nothing


Sing a song of nothing,


and you shall know no fear.


Sing a song of meaning,


and there’ll be none to hear.


Only when the light of day


has darkened into night,


and the mindless masses


need another’s might


will the cries and pleas of old


and warnings of today


have an ear to fall upon-


but it will be too late.


So sing your songs of nothing


and worry not for me.


Save your worry for yourselves


when comes your time of need.


The Sons and Daughters


The sons and daughters of the movers and shakers


the ones who changed amerika


and became what they hated most


The sons and daughters were taught to love amerika


enough to hate it


enough to change it


by the ones who became America in all its corporate glory


The sons and daughters were fed dreams of a just existance


in a new amerika


by the parents who went to work to bring them


the latest toys


the most expensive clothes


The sons and daughters are grown up now


without hope


and without direction


knowing only that dreams are always shattered


a kind face is a hypocritical face


“those who know” are more lost than anyone


The sons and daughters of the hippies


raised on shattered dreams by hypocrites


are too afraid to care


too smart to try


and were raised too well to admit it

Her pretty White Dress


She sits alone in her pretty white dress


She’s still afraid


She wonders why?


No one is around; she shouldn’t be afraid


But she can’t help wondering?


What will happen when they come?


How will she screw this up?


Will they still make fun of her?


Will she still not be good enough for them?


Still too fat


Too ugly


Too smart


Too lazy


Too depressed


Too unstable


She sits alone in her pretty white dress and chuckles


They don’t know how unstable she really is


They made her unstable by never being satisfied


And putting her down when she failed to please


The razor sliced through her skin easily, only a slight sting


And as she was taken away, the paramedic couldn’t help commenting


On how it was such a shame


That she had gone and ruined such a pretty white dress


Praise for the Night


Only in the light of day can I see my true self


The night is a mask


A security blanket


Covering the pain


The fear


The insecurities


In the night I am the person I created


The person I am comfortable with


The person who is comfortable


In the light I am the person they created


Through the pain


The fear


The insecurities


The night sets me free
