THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF
Random thoughts,
unsolved challenges ~
all melding
into mad
-ness of midnight cinema ~
a double feature!

This form is “Piku” ~ taken from the mathematical term “pi” (which is 3.14) and the poetic form “haiku” (a 3-line poem of a certain syllabic length). This form is three lines, following the syllabic pattern of 3-1-4 (in reference to the math term “pi”). Get it!? 🙂 And…today is “Pi Day” (March 14th — 3.14) Get it!? 🙂
So–Happy Pi Day!
THE POET’S SLEEP
(a shadorma)
The demons
tormenting his dreams
work their way
into the
darkness of his thoughts, spilling
out in inky verse.

IT’S ALL IN MY HEAD
I’m alone
in this space,
this place
where thoughts
collide
with reality.
Whispers of hope
are crowded out
by shouts
of disappointment
and failure.
My cries go unheard;
tears, undried.
I’m all alone
in this space.
