“Runoff”
Silt and debris run

Misplaced Missive #27 – Like You
If you died in this moment,
I would rejoice as the lights
Of the ambulance left my view. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #27 – Like You”
Haiku Sunday – River

Blue sky rushes by,
mirroring the river wide-

Used To – JG
As with much of the poetry I post here, I wrote this awhile ago and waited ’til the emotions that inspired it cooled down to calm to edit it. This piece and its few contemporaries work to never allow me to reach that calm however. *shrug* Every time I read this I’m brought back to how I felt in that moment and while I rather love that I also hate it in equal measure.

her magnificence.

Devil in the Details, Monster in the Music

Said a wise man to a crowded room,
That might as well have been empty,
For all the impact he made. Continue reading “Rock Song – Saving Ze World – JG”
Haiku Sunday – Fog
“Fog”
Peripheral blurs,
Light fades as vision caves in,
