Description The telephone rings
My heart jumps to my stomach
A second of hope


Anticipation
Listening for those footsteps
Ears strain, music hushed


A minute has passed
Golden silence tells the truth
You never call me

I love it when people are able to relate to my poems... that's one of the greatest joys I get from writing them.


Although I wish ya couldn't relate to this one... it's quite a sucky thing.

Hey if liking the poem is wrong, than I don't wanna be right!

Yep I'm 100 percent distilled sadass

I like this a lot. Haiku does help one grow as a poet because of the limitations the haiku line scheme sets for rambling on and on. Personally, I don't practice haiku because I find it limits my creative flow. I only write poems so I can get things off my chest. I think you have a future in the whole "haiku thing" because even with its limitations, you still seem to have a creative flow going. Plus, it all makes sense. My haikus are pretty rough and I haven't written a serious one for about three years. I don't write them anymore...not at all, come to think of it. Oh, well. Good job!

I'm glad you liked them!


I feel the same way; I ramble on and on and on if I can, especially in my writing and poetry, so I'm trying to control that. I just wrote part of a personal autobiography and spent about a page of it describing my love for all types of movies. I really need to work on cutting things down.


And you really don't ramble!! I find you very concise and *thinks* not rambly in your comments and notes and things.

Thank you again for the input!!
