Laika, over coffee
You see, friend?
The way the sky darkens?
The way the stars become aware?
You see the horizon, the distant lands
Of moon-rock and sleeping metal?

Poetic Form
I hate rhyme
And as a poet, that seems silly
I hate the flow it creates, the way
It reminds me of a kids book
It turns serious topics into

Peace, at last
Clouds obscure my love, the sun
But spring, finally, is mine
The birds return, winter is done
And new life begins as a shrine
Rain falls softly, but I do not shun

Grey Area
I would like to consider myself a poet
A wordsmith, a dreamer, a god
I would like to call what I write poetry
But the thing about poets

Patience
Primal screeches fill the air
The carpet below you rubs, burns
And a long-haired woman stands
before you in a too-small room

To all the friends I wish I had loved sooner
I wish I had known you when we were younger
With our sun-kissed cheeks and lopsided grins
When we were filled with joy and mindless wonder
At summer church camp singing off-tune hymns

There Is No War In Ba Sing Se
Every day when I walk home from school
I see a woman with her young son
Asking for money by the road.I stick my hands in my pocket and
Turn my head away.
There is nothing I can do because
I only have three dollars on me. -
gratitude
last year on my birthday
i wished for a soulmate
i didnt get one
not in the way i thought i would
but i have you
maybe you were what i was wishing for
i know youll always pick me

I never knew I needed you.
I have had so many friends.
Some may say I am lucky
to be surrounded by huge groups.
Always having someone to talk to.
I agree.
I am lucky to have all these people.
