September 2022 – living document

crippling

crippling

it is as if every cell
in my whole body feels
its own breaking heart

the wild

some will say it is
a vicious dog eat dog world
you must be the wolf

tidal

a single thought can
start a tsunami wave
of unwanted emotions

never be too sure

it is a thin line
between ardent certainty
and insanity

save judgement

prejudice and stereotypes
are not a substitute
for morals and values

exponentially

why i love numbers
is because they never change
and they never end

composition

the art in poetry
is aesthetics of words
not just words alone

words

the best thing about words
is that they are always
free to use for good

poet

i write poetry
because i find it hard to
write full sentences

living document

manuscript that is
continually edited
and updated

first post:

this collection has been ever-evolving and this haiku really sums up the project

thanks for reading my thoughts
