    smooth as silk
    a snowflake melts on my tongue

    silk turns to wool
    breath inside my coat
    melts the snow

    Giving hope away
    You have always been the one
    Clearing cloudy days
    "1/2Faithful-hush, no words...no words, just this one last time...dance with me, like the sun's never going to come up. People should be more like you, a young Andy Richter throwing caution to the wind, eating, drinking, and being sexy.

    God bless you. "- jayscott

    my nikes just broke a lace
    looks like another lost medal
    think I'll have a smoke
    You've changed your place in this world!

    I like that one even when you originally wrote it. :)

    shuffled leaves blowing
    past the schoolyard on oak street
    where my dog hath shat :D
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    the smell of fresh baked cookies
    the brush of lazy pine
    you're home for the holidays

    The best! I want to take work off and set my tree up, and bake cookies. Maybe this evening, instead.

    scattered pine needles
    on my shoe
    walk beyond the driveway

    black birds swirl
    he talks on a cellphone

    an apparent ghost
    transparent as is the host
    hope and fear live close
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace

    Haiku 1 year Anniversary book will be sent today. Yeah, it's gone, outa here, goodbye goodbye goodbye, out of site, out of mind. If any members of the band or the Ten Club staff happen to see this post I just want them to know:

    if you hold the book at arm's length it's easier to read. I don't know what it is about my handwriting, but it's got this straight something or another that's better at arms length. Just so you know :)

    Thanks to all that granted me permission to include your haiku! Yeah us!

    A new path
    human laid gravestones
    guard your honour

    We have a new shopping mall in Norwich, a big one, and one of the main access routes to it, is cut through an old graveyard. The new path is formed with and the banked earth retained by displaced gravestones. They must have had to deconsecrate the land. I do quite like the path though.
