Twitter has juuuust enough characters for me to create mediocre-at-best tanka (5-7-5-7-7) and haiku, and there’s a beautiful soul on there that encourages me to do so whenever possible. I’ve reeled off several since yesterday, so I might as well leave ’em here while I’m at it. I don’t seem to be showing up on Blogger blogrolls at the moment anyway, so it isn’t like anyone is gonna see these or care.
Still, while there’s no common theme in my head to go with it this time, I will disperse the cards I didn’t end up using in my other recent “cards and poetry” post throughout, just in case. 😉
Just a little bit
out of step with time and space
Reality feels
less real when you can see the
other side of the fourth wall
’58 Milt Pappas RC..
The writing on the
wall; text just blurs together
when you’ve given up
This fight isn’t worthy of
my mind’s main stage anymore…
1970 Topps Ron Santo AS..
Riding the icy
wind through this sad, soulless town
My barren valley…
Only wasted potential
and broken promise remain
1974 Rookie Infielders..
I’m a darker soul
than you’d ever want to keep
But I can still help
light the way through your darkness
My hope glows against the night
Tim Raines RC..
My mind is fractured
inscrutable, unstable
Even when I’m good
I’ll never be quite alright
Stay away, it’s for the best…
BowPlat Javier Barz Cutting Edge Star..
What good is there in
a creator lacking the
focus to create?
I guess the sketchy poetry is technically creating, but it isn’t the thing that’s likely to get me anywhere… Anyway, if you get this, thanks for stopping by.
Until our next…
