Leaves (Haiku)
Leaves drop to the ground
Their fall is their last journey
They shan't live again

Lost Senses (Prose poem)
The faint tap of a rubber sole on the hard floor. A snap as someone's lead breaks from too much pressure. The thud of a book falling as if in slow motion. A soft melody of an IPod turned way too loud. The unbearable sound of chalk screeching on the board. You find yourself lost in all these distractions. Not able to concentrate on the task at hand. You look at your paper and find it blank, mentally insulting yourself for your incompetence.


Dragons (Sestet)
The ancient beast of lore
Enemies to rulers and kings
Able to frighten animals with one roar
With their giant see-through wings
They find feasts in wagons
They are the fabled dragons


Cheetah (Series of Couplets)
I know a cheetah
Her name is Vita
I don’t know what they put in her feed
That makes her move at an incredible speed
For she can turn any great beast
Into a magnificent feast


Love (Couplet)
As beautiful as a gentle white dove
Is the wonderful thing we call love.


Rain (Free Verse)
People say the saddest thing is the rain
And that it only has to do with pain
But their attempts to stain
The beauty that is the rain
Is all in vain

Autumn (Haiku)
Crisp air and apples
Deep orange sunlight and brown leaves
Early autumn days

Summer (Haiku)
Summer is over
Winter is about to start
Tis such a bummer



Work (Haiku)
Hit the alarm clock
Put on your shoes and jacket
Coffee on the way

Hate (Couplet)
If you live to hate
Then sadness will be your fate

Knight (Free-Verse)
In his shining armor
Backed by one archer
He ran into battle
To everyone’s baffle.

War (Couplet)
The first signs of war
Have some people crying out for more.


Fog (Lame Couplet)
During a fog
Is a bad day to lose your dog

Trees (Free-Verse)
Trees are known for their leaves
Their nuts, and their roots
For their Adams and Eves
But most of all, their fruits

Life and Death (Couplet)
You take advantage of life and death
Until you exhale your very last breath


Evil (Sonnet)
Her voice is like the screech of a banshee
A fly in your ear
The constant stinging of a bee
Causing people to run in fear

As she walks through the house
At every step the carpet runs grey
Shell walk on your pride as if it were just a mouse
She'll do whatever it takes, to get her way

Pain is what she’s always craving
Any terms of peace are denied
Shell continue her ranting and raving
Until your forced to go outside

For it’s the only possible way
To get through this horrible day


Feather (Couplet)
It is during bad weather
That you’ll find a mangled eagle feather.
