Boat shoes seldom set sail

Stalactites drip down riches from a see-saw sea;
Cardboard cutouts strung up for High School theatrics.
Still, it’s the only sky I remember, odd moving like that.
Pale blue against matte-black.
We actors got painted up like dolls.

Grime encrusted rayon tunics knit by well-wishing relatives
Can be found for a steal at your local thrift store.
Dress up the porcelain caricature of your best self.
Tell simple lies that snowball into permanent falsehoods.
Let those lies permeate the everchanging tides of our fragility.

Conscious reality, trapped inside one’s own thoughts
Adrift on waves of shiny baubles and trinkets
With only empty hands to paddle
The show must go on, but…
I’m afraid we’re taking on water.

Congratulations rickiep00h!

Haikus about the worst apartment/roommate/living situation you've ever been involved with

Growing Pains
Friends who once kept tight,
Through hurt and uncertainty,
With vice, grew apart.

Introverted Gorges

We walked in silence, each of us searching for something ineffable on those winding canyon trails. Through swaths of wilted sunflowers and red sand basins, we crossed over mesa walls and blooded rock formations. Vast chasms holding history, lost hope and tourist attraction, we made simple lodgings under the stars. Among friends, truly good company, I still managed to feel alone, missing home and all that it held.

Home’s where the heart is,
Or so people have told me.
I have what I need.

Cycles

The seed is planted.
Roots take hold in fertile ground;
Sproutlings soon erupt.
Branches form, and blossoms bloom,
Then fall for Winter's silence.
