I'll write a haiku
Because they're so damn easy
So yeah here it is

Let's keep going though
Yeah I could do this all day
Haikus are real short

Wait is it haikus
Or do you just say haiku
I have no idea

Anyway that's it
I'm getting tired of this
So this is the last

...

Okay just one more
Seriously this is it
Damn I'm eloquent

Peace, y'all.

"Here I sit, broken-hearted. Tried to sh*t, but only farted."

[Pea]

Roses are red.

Violets are blue.

I got you a present.

And guess what. It's see through.

"Here I sit, broken-hearted. Tried to sh*t, but only farted."

Lmao, nice.

I know you are, but what am I?


The third wheel in society's carriage?
I've been the outcast ever since,
Unable to ever find any solace.
Trying to break the door's hinge,


and now you hunt me,
Desperate to bury the secrets within,
There is something you should know about me
I am far more, stronger than any of you have ever been.


Turn back, let me be. Or none of you will ever be free.

Here is one i came up with.

   What if you could know all the what if questions?
Then you know the answer to this question.
And to answer all what ifs is to know all possible out comes at any given moment in time.
And this is something of a challenge for then you would all possibility of a event and all the possibilities of those and so on and so forth.
So to know all what ifs is to know everything.
And to know everything is to know the future and to know the future is impossible for the future has not happened.

Im empty and loveless, thoughtless and careless
Im trying to live one day at a time, but I keep messing up.
I wake up alone, live alone, sleep alone. I am a single being.
I reach out for the world. It rejects me.
I reach out for religion, it denies me.
I look for love, I am blinded.
I look for someone like me, I do not see them.
I am alone and cold, barren and betrayed.
Insulting and controversial, I lay down my head, meaning no offense.
We seek love, I find words to fill my failure. I am destined to die wondering what could have been.
I am lost in this field, if only I knew God.
I am tempted by death, if only I knew love.
I am tormented by silence, if only I knew bravery.
The seeds of disease have been sown into my soul, and the day of reaping will come.
If only I knew salvation.

[nixon/monto]

That was deep.

[MrRazot]

It's all a race I say
It seems I've lost I say
No need to worry she say
All hope is gone it say
I never give up I say

With a thought I thought that I thought I thought once before. But I thought wrong for this thought was strong, no blood, no gore. Just a thought I thought that I thought once before. Yet the more I thought, I thought it more. A strong thought I thought I thought before. A thought of love. But now it's gone, like the thoughts I used to think.

The Mandelbrot Set:

Twirling, spiraling, looping, spinning,
zooming to nowhere, trying, flying,
So Simply Complex, running, flowing,
the thumbprint of god, gliding, sliding.

From the imaginary, zooming,
From one simple equation, fleeing,
Creating a universe, roaming,
More vast than ours, magnifying.

Mandelbrot,
The fractal,
The Skeleton galaxy,
The eye in creation,
The limitless void in space,
The beginning and end of time.


 To see what the thus is, using one equation you can create an image as complex as this

Heres something I wrote for memorial day. Specifically my grandpa. Thanks all you warriors out there for defending what's right.


----------------------------------------------


I am a an organism of unrelenting will,
I fear not dying but death itself.


Searching for truth I don't know the way,
but each of us gets wiser with each passing day.


I don't believe in angels but I believe in family.
I place my faith in what believes in me.


Freedom comes naturally but is twisted by mandates,
we get mad for electing the wrong candidates.


From the red, white, and blue to the top of Machu Picchu,
A sense of pride takes me over when I look at you.


From the front lines to the bomb shelters,
soldier or civilian,
From the Pentagon to the  dining table,
general or father,
we are warriors of many waiting for a turn,
exercising trials by fire.


Get in our way one one thing is for sure,
touch our freedom and you will get burned.

Oooh wow, that was riveting! You could feel a really powerful stiffness, passion and power from those words! Nice job

So here are two I did recently thought I might as well post them

 
 Water from the night’s shower collect upon the leaves of a weathered tree
Old and gnarled the dawns light flitters along its branches
Leaves and petals spread across the soaked ground radiating from the storm touched wood
Coloring the ground in shades of green and pink



 
Water envelopes me
Beneath an abyss
Above a shimmer of light blue
Suspended there I lay
Daring not to move

nice one Bandal. I had some cool images in my head when I read that
