…hesitation…

February 26, 2007 at 12:01 pm (haiku, manic depression)

this box of crayons
has sat for years unopened
perhaps it’s time now…

but i am afraid,
since i’ve grown older, to find
they have all turned gray

this week’s topic at one deep breath is color. for me, the quintessential physical expression of color is a big box of crayola crayons… which i had a bajillion of when i was younger (believe me, the cheap-o dollar store generics don’t even compare). i don’t play with crayons much anymore. i wonder if maybe that’s one of the problems with adults these days.

…dire consequences (6-8-6)…

February 18, 2007 at 10:04 pm (annoying preachiness, haiku)

another book burns in
the library of consciouness
each time you speak your mind

-or-

another book burns in
the library of consciousness
if you remain silent

which person are you?
one whose words contribute, or
one whose words detract?

(thank you to qazse for providing the positive pole in this ‘ku)
