(more…)Japanese Haiku
Spring is here,
The Cherry Blossoms have come to life,
Brings joy to all animals,
Wind Whirls,
Hear the wind whirling around the trees,
Rain thunders down,
Darkness takes over light,
The whole forest goes to sleep,
Snap, crackle, pop,
The sun has started to set,
Whatever darkness touched became peacefully silent,
Until the next day.
11+1=12
Thank you, Lisa!

Wailing Girl
I was a small girl who wailed,
To stop me from wailing I would get my way,

Some people called me Miss Mary quite Contrary.

Art is something that cannot be judged.
I Bail for Kale
I bail for kale,
But all get are some scale,
Because I failed I went to jail,
For that I don’t know why.
But all get are some scale,
Because I failed I went to jail,
For that I don’t know why.
And there I carve mail with a nail,
So I would get help,
and I spy is a snail who finds a trail to get me out of jail.
To thank him I gave the snail my tail for finding a trail out.
So now I share my tale of the snail and me for tails of others.
Baby Black Bat
Once upon a time there lived a baby black bat,
Other bats say that he is the best at batting in baseball.
Also bats say for his age he is the best batter in the world,
and though he could turn into the bat’s best batter,
he might just buzz back home and be a baby black bat.

Empty Fullness
My life felt empty I had nowhere to be nothing to do,
After I moved to my uncle in Yorkshire,
Everyday I would go to the gardens,
And hunt for the entrance to the secret garden,
Everyday became less and less empty,
Because the friend I made from the mysterious cry,
and another friend from the secret garden.

Mysterious Cry
I can’t fall asleep,
My head turning as my body twisting,
Then out of nowhere,
I hear it,
I hear the crying I had heard the past nights,
Now there was no one around,
I got out of bed with candle and the sound,
Would the light find out where it was coming from?
1 + 5 – 3 + 2 – 1 + 6 + 9 + 8 + 2 + 8 – 8 + 8 – 8 + 9 +2 – 2 – 7 – 7 – 4 + 1 – 3 + 2 – 9 + 3 – 5 = something

3,305′ for Stacey!
Dear Stacey, I’m giving my first post to you, Stacey, because if you didn’t step out and see that I could be a better rock climber then I would probably still be in the after school program, still only doing 5.5s. So this Thanksgiving I give thanks to you for stepping into my life and making it better. (more…)
