Voices In The Late Night Forum

[Poetry forums always seem to resound with lonely or sad voices, to my mind, especially late at night. This poem is my take on that strange, haunting nocturne. The "narrator" is a haiku poet...]


  Amber sunset sky
  Late autumn leaves turn spirals
  as litter flutters


     *


  All night
   awake
    feels strange
      I crack


  Late flight
   I break
    I'll change
     come back


      *


I don't know why she never really knew me
I wish I knew why she was so unkind
And why she cut my clothes to shreds so rudely
And ripped the peace cleanly out of my mind


      *


Tap roots turn and twist under
border beds
roses quiver with dew in ardent scarlet
as bees drowse on the lavender.
My garden is a taut wilderness;
budding event-art waiting to open
like the blossoming of our passion
if you would only look at me....


      *


 i hate myself
 i hate my life
 my fingers close around the knife
 my cuts are mouths screaming in vain
 as blood mixes with streaming rain


      *


Hey lonely -
your poem sucked.
Read more, get out more,
eat meat or forever hold your peas.


      *


  Nightfall comes slowly
  wood smoke billows from chimneys
  as the lights go out.


      *


 N E 1 want 2 chat?
 No?
 'bye.

I'm agreeing with Evelyn. Lovely beginning and ending haikus by the way.

The poem reminds me of a poetry reading
at a poetry club. It was profound, and very
emotional. Loved it. :0)

Earth-centric Humanity at the Crossroads by Martin Treon

For the reasons I describe in this book, the world-wide suffering, death and extinction of humanity is very likely to occur, unless nonviolent and democratically determined radical and revolutionary personal and societal actions and changes are taken
