How weekends fly like a gliding swallow,
while weekdays go like a crawling earthworm.
But both of these matter, it’s not hollow.
They’re sky to look up, and soil to stand firm.

It’s obvious that you had a bad day.
Rely on anyone reliable.
Let’s hang out and seek something fun to play.
Go find a way you could be viablie.

You have been walking around in new shoes,
Got nothing but a blister in your heel.
The rookie doesn’t have anything to lose.
There lies frontiers with which you’ve got to deal.

Try to choose clothes to tidy yourself, dear.
Get ready to meet someone new, not rude.
Don’t go for the vain vogue, stick to the gear
In which you can show who you are than nude.

Instead of decorating your singing,
Just let your voice sound and resound over.
With bright but needless blings to which you’re clinging,
Your song would wander off like a rover.

When you are in tears, self-doubt and torments,
The light rain seems to loom so large you’re doomed.
When you are confident like presidents,
The downpour sounds like the groove highly boomed.

In high school years, I passed this stone pavement
Everyday. Stones may recognize my face.
Because I’ve not grown out of enslavement
To the naive daydreams I used to chase.

Though sunlight is still harsh with your tanned nape,
Now you’ve got breeze to cool your sunburn heat.
You look up at the mackerel sky’s drape
To know summer has beaten a retreat.

First time in a while my #weeklysonnet was posted on Medium! This is about the full moon and looking up at it.

It is the point below your navel, boy,
Of which you should be conscious all the time.
When it is tense, your guts inside are coy.
Relax dear, or you’d be like stuck in slime.

You don’t need a catastrophe to spoil
Our lives. Higher temp or more rain will do.
The changes we caused will spread like spilled oil
And come back to us in awful ways, thank you.

Do birds and bugs have human-like hearts? Wrong.
But we find our feelings in crow or dove.
Some hear contempt in crickets’ song,
While others take it as whisper of love.

It is the chill you feel in the morning
It is the way she shut the window latch.
It is the thin clouds high up, adorning
The tincture of the blue______The autumn’s hatch.

Since all the world’s a stage, you play yourself.
Yes, it’s too harsh to pass as you are here.
But you’re not pro, don’t act as king or elf.
Perform a better version of you, dear.

Without quake the hotel began to shake.
The people in pyjamas all rushed out.
Turned out, viberation control did mistake.
Would you be glad or mad? Let’s talk about.

The storm must come, if you believe or not.
It’ll rage and ramp worse than you’ve ever seen.
Prepare, unless you would dump all you’ve got.
Please don’t pretend warning red light as green.

You have to brace your feet as swirled
In this severe tornado, my daughter.
Which’s not the easiest thing in the world.
We barely keep our head above water.

Why are we so afraid of looking weak
By asking for the slightest help ever?
Although in fact that makes us look so meek
By turning down a hand, which isn’t clever.

[USK JPN @usk_jpn]

If stranger’s voice sounds like our loved mother’s,
That is the time when we should call it verse.
If our love’s voice sounds like ruthless other’s,
That is the time when we must call it curse.

Please don’t forget you suffer the same things
As people did a thousand years ago.
And they’ll do in a thousand years. Earthlings
Will not improve in such a span, you know.
