Thread: National Poetry Month - Twollar giveaway extravaganza!

I just decide that haiku are worth 170 twollars. Thanks Sue and Molnar for the first two haiku!

Fishing for wisdom in the sea of doubt
a nibble of understanding lost again
Patience
Patience

Hunting for knowledge in a forest of darkness
a shadow of thought missed again
Long-suffering
Long-suffering

Harvesting for ideas in a field of desolation
a grain of insight withered away
Resignation
Resignation

April

Cool
It becomes wet
Hot, it steams;
Never takes the same route
Into a heart frozen shut still, yet, but not forever.
I bite my knuckles when the clouds drift overhead.
They bring the unknown
And they bring the inevitable.

Take me out of this waiting.
I want the sky blue
And I want the grass dry
And the pavement friendly to my bare soles.
Give me bee hum
And leaf rustle
And stop this dance you savor
As you change from
One to the next.

She seeks it here, she seeks it there,
Knocka seeks it everywhere.
Is it a number or is it a word?
Finding an answer is just absurb.

They seek it here, they seek it there
Twelevers seek it everywhere.
Is a picture or just a caption?
Whatever it is gives satisfaction.

He seeks it here, he seeks it there.
Moscow seeks it everywhere.
A haiku, a sonnet, an ode or short lines,
Poetry, free verse or just some rhymes.

I dance slowly down
the road
One foot, and another, and a third
the cadence of my footfalls
a tiny earthquake

Today I dance alone
although here and there
I see others dancing
to their own symphony
ignored by the crowd who stand
silent and still

As I dance slowly and alone
I see a silver glint
and as I dance
the dance becomes me
and I become the dance
and the road and the earthquake

When I stop the dance it hurts
sharp pains
as if the dance is ripped
from my bones
or am I ripped from the bones
of the dance

Search. Research. Re-search.
Stand beside. Stand under. Stand down. Understand.
Mad. Razz. Wink. Very Happy. Surprised. Smile.
Theory. Trust. Truth. Try.
Work. Rest. Work.
Thursday
Friday
Leave alone. Leave, alone. Lone some leave. lonesome leaves.
Look again. Look again. Look again.
Whatever comes to you, comes to you.
Sad. Confused...Roll Eyes.
Cool. Sir prized again. Missed her green.
Very happy. Brick wall yet everything is cool.
