Poe's Trees

Simple Rhyming

Neon Streaks

The City of Lights passes by in neon streaks

Each one, a ribbon reflecting on my helm

There to shine for a moment as I slice the wind

Only to disappear for the new ones to shine

My thoughts trail far ahead of me

Dancing with the rivers of oranges, pinks, and greens

That waved farewell as I drive beyond them

The sound of the motor left behind as I soar with the colors

The Lone, Beautiful moon overlooking me, Through the City of Lights

Flying as my mind dances with the Neon streaks

New Cafe

In the cool air of early 7 o’clock

I stood in front of the frosty glass door

My key in hand, I turn the lock

Only one thing my mind waited for

The machines were on, and the beans all ground

The lights shining outside

On the door, I waited for the bell to make its sound

Exited for the day, I happily sighed

Haikus and Tankas

Desert King

Endless dunes of sand

The heat strikes all that cross

The sun is king here

Ymir

The wind screams past us

Quilts of ice fall down to earth

Riding Ymir’s back

Sinkhole

Deep in the sinkhole

The house sits there in ruins

Swallowed by the Earth

Fire in the fields

Fire in the Fields

The golden planes of raised wheat

Painted black with ash

Fire consuming it all

As a starving monster would

Metal coffins

The screeching halted

With a deafening silence.

Fire gently swayed

Atop the crushed vehicles,

Now being metal coffins.

Lyrical Lines

Game of Numbers

Here we are, lined up like toys

In a field soon to be lost

Trying to shield our girls and boys

Giving up lives for the cost

Are we just pawns in a numbers game?

Toy soldiers of tin

Try as we might and how hard we fight

The higher number will win

One by one, we start going down

As we chip away at the mass

Colors flash by, like green, red and brown

As bodies fall onto the grass

Are we just pawns in a numbers game?

Toy soldiers of tin

Try as we might and how hard we fight

The higher number will win

As the chaos finally slows

I lay on the ground and cry

After all the death and painful woes

The smaller number will die
