Just a Few Haikus — Nearly Instant Gratification

Just a few Haikus, meant to connect you and I ... Five more syllables.

Under sequoias

Green as an emerald jewel

I whisper to her.

The world is so still

As if it knows the torrent

I will soon endure.

I write some haikus

In order to distract me

from my future self.

I get stomach aches

As I approach my future.

Nothing is in stone.

All the friends I have

Are nothing I expected

In all the best ways.

I inhale deeply,

knowing this moment will pass,

and exhale freely.

Stories live within,

Begging for the chance to sing.

Your song will come soon.
