A while back, I wrote some poems in short poetic forms: haiku, tanka, and charita. Here are a few examples:
the words ain't coming
the ideas just don't
want to work together
and all of it is
a complete mess
ah, the joys of writing
-------
browsing the bookstore
don't know what I'm looking for
so I don't find it
-------
change the world, they say
though the truth is that the world
does not want to change
it just wants our approval
while it descends into hell
-------
death will not whitewash
for death is the door to One
who knows everything
that Judge who sees underneath
the masques we wear to seem good
-------
I am selfish, I
Care only for my needs, I
Want what I want, I
Do not care what you want, I
Am focused on myself, I
-------
A peculiar business
The preacher preaches
Then the crowds applaud
If your preaching makes you
A friend of the world
Then who is your enemy?
