Pretty.

I love this!

Here is an example of what I am learning how to do now. It is so elegant, so sexy, and so beautiful! I don't know that I will ever be this good at it, but I have to start somewhere!

A New Poem

There are magnets in your eyes, I swear.
And mine are made of metal.
The pull unsteadies me.
I rebel a little, then drag toward you
while you stand fixed
making yourself the center of your own
emotional gravitation.
You mouth the words,
“I love you”
and your inexorable influence grows
so that no repulsion occurs
and I crash into your open arms.
How you bend the laws of Science for your cause!

8:17 Haikus

I like how everyone interpreted the topic differently!

Haiku--Give me a Sign

go straight 'till you hit morning
Call me when you're close.
