Quin Johnson

What is a Haiku? A Haiku is a 3 line poem of 17 syllables. It must keep with the formation 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables.

I felt it was my responsibility to try this at this point.

There are 42 Haikus (refer to by number)

There are also 2 regular poems as a bonus.

and our love to keep us warm!

Do it! Bite me vamp!

Do your do, all a louding

Butterflies all in my tummy.

Let me wipe your sweat.

What the heck? Ideas askew;

wanton intellect.

exclusivity.

Colorful world, white

browns and tans. Varieties

fine from man to man.

moon. Alas! The joys of a

you around the globe.

What wisdom have you today?

Go on speak your heart.

They ate the rot of

rotting fruit, so that I would

not have to today.

Brazen, buxom, vibe.

Hit you hard like a Semi.

Apple of your eye.

Dreams collide. One is

crushed. Ideas so contrary.

Creativity.

Health and vigor. Red

and vibrant. Keep life in me,

nurse my cells and bones.

Static vibe, all rough, harsh.

Contrary to your versus.

Calling all truces...

Your smiles big and sly...

Gapped or capped personify:

Southern Hood Charming.

All is all is all.

Round and complete is what is.

Here or in rising.

42.

Trials are hosts to change.

Tears can clear the sight and thought,

with each lesson brought.

BONUS POEMS

Me

The rays of life break

free from bars.

Day is to break from

gloomy storms.

A smile you'll find

upon this face.

There's beauty too,

poise and grace.

Just look, you'll find

an artist here; holding

every inspirational trait.

Sunny warmth, witticism,

love, a poetess, a saint.

She stalks in beauty doesn't she?

Shall we compare her to the

moon or fae?

Her mind is a wellspring.

Her virtue, magnanimous.

Just shall we count the ways?

Unraveling the mystery

of me and only me.

This journey has truly been mine.

Given heart to God,

on earthen sod,

looming design to fine design.

Atlanta Respite

Your southern heat and smiles

greet me from yonder to nigh.

Lush green pervades, complete

by the buzz of insects, and the promise

of a great Black restaurant.

The drawl of time contours my days,

as could only be found in

the laze and affection of a tender land.

Ebony faces telling me to relax

my weary limbs.

They seem to say "This here's home two for you

if need be, this here is home too."
