Death of a Christian
Like a spring seed dies
To let a flower emerge
So the Christian dies
Awareness
No person escapes death.
Just as their birth
Was out of their hands
So is their end.
The difference
Is awareness.
Boredom
Boredom is a merciless captor
Hard to overcome
And if allowed to sit and fester
Will take hold and suppress
Desire and motivation.
But a call from a friend,
A magazine’s photo
Or an offhand remark overheard
Can be a jailer’s key
In an instant
Your sentence reversed
And freedom leads to the desire
For freedom.
Haiku
A poem that has
Five then seven then five more
Syllables; Haiku
O Little Weed
O little weed
Yes simple weed
Martyr of my lawn,
How fast your greenery
Sprouts anew
Yet faster still your gone.
My mower does not keep you down
And pulling will not kill you,
But with this spray
You will turn brown
I see no need to bill you.
