morning, folks

a slow day begins
and the blankets are heavy:
the sun behind clouds

guess not all that original

and the blankets are heavy:
the sun hides his face

that's even better!

though it sacrifices a bit of objectivism haiku are known for in favor of westerners' taste for figures of speech ;-)

I'm a free-range haiku maker.

not sure the most appropriate of hours, but it occurred to me in the morning. go figure

the living dead

a poem is like a virus
neither living nor dead
it doesn't move
it doesn't breath
under heaps and heaps
of earthen material
under tons of rotten dust
all wrapped up
in crumbling yellow pages
it awaits

it then spreads
as soon as you touch it
it still doesn't breath at all
but it inspires you
and then disseminates

. . .

a poet is like a zombie
neither living nor dead
it moves but goes nowhere
it's breath, long taken away
under heaps and heaps
of dead poet corpses
under tons of rotten dust
all wrapped up
in ragged yellow pages
babbling and gushing non-sense
it awaits

it then awakes
as soon as it smells
your fresh brain
it's inspired by your fear
but one bite suffices
and it disseminates
then all the babbling and gushing
starts to make sense

I'd appreciate any spelling errors or the like corrected

Infectious! Well done.

shining in the sky
neither star nor firefly:
love on an errand

Opened Ground

I find a dead spider
inside the cover of my
Seamus Heaney collection

flattened like a pressed flower
and looking not unlike
a small brown rose

I wipe him away
but a stain remains
just above the title

I don't speak English
Oh hell I
speak no english at all
Nor I write it.

I was born in Brazil

touching the keys
unlocks poetry from words

cooly passing by
harshly closes the door: blam!
- a gust of wind -

Love it!

slowly climbing up
then quickly going downhill
- lost joy on adults -
