thee Reverend Axl Future Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 2020 sucks for us all. Remember the Australian Wildfires? We don't even talk about that anymore. 2020 has sucked for me. Last week I was looking for some blank journals for my kid to sketch in (she's a drawing machine) from one of the many bins in the basement. She gave me back a plain black one a couple days later, saying it had writing in it already. It contained some poetry, mostly haiku, that I used to obsessively compose during my downtime when I still was creative. I often find piles of club flyers or newspaper pages or pocket notepads full of scrawled doggerel. I fancied doing a zine of it, even. Anyway, here are some examples. Please contribute. Let your freak flag fly, be formal or spontaneous, serious or humorous, no judgments (just like therapy)... -------------------------------------------- The greatest moment / of impact: one inch before / the leg drop connects. -------------------------------------------- The mantle of bleached / blonde tresses is a crown of / genius carny thorns. -------------------------------------------- Los Gringos Locos: / real heat that would burn up / an indy worker. ---------------------------------------------- A stiff chair shot to / the skull - sure beats working ar / Walmart 'til you die. ---------------------------------------------- Black Bart chose to buy / a new duster instead of / resoling his boots. ----------------------------------------------- circa 2005, RAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) EDIT: Had a Haiku in mind but those lovely word filters came into play.
