OutdatedMap

Taking ridiculous snippets of my life and blowing them way out of proportion with emo haiku.

[OutdatedMap @OutdatedMap]

A miracle.
You, walking on water;
Me, under the tow.

Planned to explore.
In spring, delve the new terrain.
Face his urn toward the view.

Dear me
I loved every breath he took
The curl of his hair, gone.

@john34239 You did a fantastic job of conveying that scene with your poem. Understandable about family members, impossible to live with! This poem reflects the depth and complexity of that relationship, in my view.

assisted living
sing-a-long-to-the-40’s
for a moment
the glimpse of a girl
in my mother’s face

A terrific clamor.
In ruins unsalvageable,
I kneel with a dust pan.

The bleak of your eyes
Cast in the wrong direction.
Your ending, not mine.

@VotheroneMorris I thought so too! It was yesterday’s #vss365 writing prompt! It would never have occurred to me otherwise. :)

Invigorated
by winter winds, my old dog
pronking through snowbanks.

Her heart contains
both doves and ravens,
a girl of duality, a chaos girl.

rundown motel
we stop to
live a little

love needs
a lot of space
and no reasons

Had her fill of scorn.
So, she packed her dearest things
& set fire to the dregs.

If you don't find feathers, adorn your cap with leaves..

Near-perfect mimic.
No hair askew, but betrayed
By love in its eyes.

Fasten the shutters.
The wanton bright of you
Pours through the cracks.

The hushed threat of you.
Climbed the walls til I noticed
I was finally free.

I can’t see
the future
through the smoke
of the smoldering
present

[OutdatedMap @OutdatedMap]

A nascent flicker
bleeding into deep deep down.
It’s me, without you.

Tiny tissue scraps
tamping blood flow, “on my own”,
A double-edged sword.
