“Tock, tock” repeating
What creature tocks in my wall
On this chilly night
“Tock, tock” repeating
What creature tocks in my wall
On this chilly night
A frigid wind howls
‘Round the smelly plastic bag
I take out the trash
Five, seven, five
Syllables they say belong in a haiku
But whatever
Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.
Father time taps his finger
On the table.
Pizza, pizza pie,
But never a pizza cake.
Pizza, pizza, why?
Snow falls raucously,
Or, so I hear, that it can,
Up atop mountains
How to write a pome:
Wait, I meant to say “poem”
Oh well, leave it in
What is different
From the short rest in your bed
And the longer one?
Things that go unseen
Are better felt in the heart
Where they are clearer
He’s pretty enough
But when it goes dark, it’s she
That shines most brightly
