Haiku

Writer's block today.

So I know I usually write poems, and someone so special to my heart today told me during a phone call “ If all you can think of is Haiku’s then try to make them the same theme." Thank you.

I tried my best. I probably won't pass this test, but here is every haiku I have written today: My initial theme was wearing masks.

Please wear a mask dweeb

You can put it on so easily

Terminally ill I could die

My interpretation is my reality

My reality is, I am dying soon

Please don’t hurt my wounds

Please stay inside you dweebs

You can sit around and smoke weed

Now sit down you stoner

When I think about you

And the mask you chose to decline

It makes me not care

Don't leave without your mask

I shouldn’t have to ask you twice

If you can’t, stay inside.

I want to stick around

But without a mask, I won’t be

Please wear one for me

Okay now here's where I lose my topic completely….. Sorry, not really though.

I want you to shine

But I can’t do this without you

I want us to shine

We can't balance the scales

We can't balance the scales to even

Please just let me stay.

All I can do today

Is write haiku's about you all day

Please show me that smile.

Take a stand, it matters

Take a stand for those that can’t

Support this culture and movement

I don't take rejection well

Hearing my kidney is going to fail

Get me out of jail

I wake in the morning

Make myself some tea, pull up a chair

Close my eyes and breathe

I think about you constantly

I can’t wait for you to visit

I have everything in mind

I need to see you

Please get on that plane flash forward

Don't look back, look forward.

You know I love you

I think more than I can comprehend

Forever until the very end
