Haikus

I only just head of National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo) a few minutes ago and I'm very psyched about doing it. I think it will help me get back on the wagon for writing poetry. So, for the sake of this month's artistic expression my normally bookish and library related website is being hijacked to publish entries fro NaPoWriMo. I know I'm a few days behind so I'll post four (hopefully) short poems to catch up. I did actually write a few poems today, though they were haikus. So it's a start...right? Write!

For more information check out the NaPoWriMo website!

Today's poems were haikus. I'll try to incorporate a wider variety of poetic form thanks to the Wikipedia page.

Children grow like lightning.

Is magic or science, then,

why we age slowly?

A uniformed man

walks by. His boots and smile make

the ground and me quake.

Reading “The Room” makes

me feel claustrophobic. The

World waits outside.

I fear I will wear

my second hand wedding dress

just for steampunk walks.
