one haiku to rule them all
one ring to bind them
one ring to kick all the butts
can't see me now foolhaiku of the page load
haiku for the dumped
we were together
making out like squirrels do
now she's run overquote of the page load
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves of all these demons haunting us to keep us company? Won't it be odd when we're happy like we always thought we're supposed to feel, but never seem to be?

Poetism Commentary: "Poetisms"
The poem in question: Poetisms
The final poem of July 9, 1996, Poetisms is by far my favorite. It is very simple, relatively brief, and perfectly sums up my feelings on poetry. I don’t know that there is much else to say about it. As I have mentioned before, if I ever have a book of poems published, I want to to be called "Poetisms."
When I read this poem, it also reminds me of the Simon & Garfunkel song "The Dangling Conversation," and I have the feeling that the song was on my mind when I wrote this poem down. It is a beautiful song.
This is evidently going to be a short commentary, as I have nothing more to say.
