An Afternoon Remembered
I want to remember us like thisside by side in the sun. Joni is pouring her lyrical troubles into one ear, and like an echo I hear your earthy voice repeating them. I sing too, softer, but my voice cracks on Case of You.
Underneath my forehead, your shoulder is warm, freckled. You sway a bit, eyes closed.
I dont say, I will miss you.
I dont say, It will only be ten days.
I dont even say, I want to live forever, curled inside this afternoon, though I am thinking it.
you are the moon.
pale,
lonely,
waning.
good company,
comfortably silent,
occasionally dark.
following me.
always within sight,
yet always out of reach.
so i decided to write a series of haiku based on everyday kitchen items, with a bit of a twist.
so far i have written:
spoon.
fork.
knife.
plate.
glass.
frying pan.
refrigerator.
feel free to recommend other kitchen items you'd like to see haiku about. i'm having a lot of fun with this series, so expect more to come in the near future.
Hello. You once asked me if I would post something I had written. Something that wasn't poetry. Well, it's been a really long time, and perhaps you've forgotten, but I've finally done it.
I'm sorry for just butting in like this, but I loved one of your haikus so much that I'd like to ask your permission before I used it in a drawing I was planning on doing.
'you, a sumptuous
dessert sitting on a plate.
my eyes, ravenous.'
If you'd rather me not, I understand. I love your poetry, it's very flowing and expressive and thought provoking. Just thought I'd ask/compliment.

Awesome! I'll be sure to credit you once it's done. Just don't go expecting anything mindblowing from me, lol; I just had an idea that would go along with the haiku itself. But thanks for the permission!
