summer day
eating ripe cherries
and thinking about your full lower lip

haiku

Liar

A soft snore
Too soft a snore
Roommate faking sleep

---

Sunset

Haiku in one ear
Distant bells in the other

---

Summer

on their backs
dead ladybugs
and tanning girls

Like to Like

When she looked up
the fireworks had called out the stars.

Valentine's Day

Red roses
She's kissing
Someone else's lover

three poems on a rainy day

All day long the rain falls

I watch worms squirm on the asphalt
and my shoes soak through in the deepest puddles
which grow deeper every time I walk through them.
Shaking the rain off my umbrella,
I turn with a smile to a friend
but my heart falls with the rain.
I let the sky do my crying,
And get on with my day.

---

All day long the rain falls
And I keep going and going
Despite only wanting a cup of tea.

---

Guess who?

Sadness sneaks up behind me
and slips its hands over my eyes
like a close friend.
