Leaving home

Kyle rushed into the church.
"Do I look okay to you?"
Justin turned to look at him.
He felt very out of place.

"Do I look okay to you?"
"It's a nice suit," Justin said.

"Are you coming?"

Several thoughts raced through his mind.

Tanka
Walking with your eyes closed

I stood before you
But just couldn't meet your eyes
I wanted to look
I didn't want you to see
The tears that stung in my eyes

Haiku
The Ocean

Sand beneath my toes
The wind blowing by my ears
The scent of the sea

Pantoum
Winter

It looked like every other day.
"You look a little depressed."
"I was just wondering if the weather ever changed here."

"I was just wondering if the weather ever changed here."
"Not really. It's sunny most every day."

She laughed and pulled on his hand till he stood up.
"Has it... ever snowed here?"
"Not really. It's sunny most every day."
He didn't say anything for a few moments, and she pulled him closer.

Birthdays

Bright purple icing
Eleven candles on top
A finger print. Oh!
