They never knew ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

They never knew my thoughts

or what we never said.

How sad, I think ... How very said ...

We could have used our heads.

 

One said, his Daddy's rich ...

and showed him off quite well.

But did that dad say in return, Son,

go and meet your Hell?

 

And like a rooster struts his stuff,

I saw the same in man.

I could have fed the rooster too,

if that had been my plan.

 

But subtlety requires much

without the guessing game.

One's rich in dollars, rich in words,

another, rich in fame.

43 Haiku and 4 poems of a Wayward Sailor by Mike Walling

Haiku of a Wayward Sailor” encompasses both haiku and poems. Many of the haiku are based on my experiences at sea.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
