This is the place for crappy poetry!

I write haikus. They are not good, but I find it enjoyable. The basic recipe I follow is: write one line with 5 sylables, then a second line with 7 sylables, then finish with a third line of 5 sylables. Try to put a reference to nature in there and make the third line interestingly different. Et Viola, cappy haiku!

ground up, then dried out
just a pinch, maybe one more
stir often, serve hot

Golden leaves of fall
Relinquished, never renounced
Bequethed to the earth

A long dead man's name
Lingers on my signature
Until I marry

As if she’s blessing the doves
They chirp grace and eat

But if its not often watched
It stretches catlike

A squirrel scatters storage
To outlast others

Making blooms from dirt and rain
Gardeners steal praise

Don't think about them
It'll just lead to tears and blood
Damned mosquito bites

Coquettish winter
Her coat removed to bare all
Exposes mounds of grass

A.I. wont replace me
'Thursday tastes of almost Friday'
Give me a fucking break

(note this doesn't follow 5-7-5, but I did say I write crappy poetry so...)

I see you are loved
A pebble on a gravestone
Nearby flowers wilt

Does an arrow fly
because feathers can't forget
how free the bird was?

The leaves stir the wind
Not the other way around
Gravity rules both

They all hide as the light fades
Hunting owls spare none

When cooking dinner
Onions always get cut last
Tears spoil the soup stock

Such shitty timing
Wedding rings are a bummer
Half hearted laughter

Cheese stuff oozed out of my skull
Sadly not kidding

Windows cracked at night
Constant katydid clicking
Always open eyes

Sightless pups whimper
Hackles raised as the bitch growls
No teat for the runt

Cops clear out the Dollar Tree
Bleached "HELP WANTED" sign

Where are you going?
Death is flying this plane
Enjoy your peanuts!

Tug of war of words
Tensions build with the struggle
Our hearts snap like rope

Cracked Branch whipped by winds
Unwilling to see them fall
Yeilds its fledgling seeds
