Guard Your Battery
Why are some people so attractive just by standing there? It’s not because they are "likable," but because they don’t need everyone to like them. I realized later that truly charismatic people allow themselves to be criticized, but they never criticize themselves. They never try to please the world; instead, the world stops to watch them.

To Sail On The Seven Seas (With Cats)
This is a poem for my Muse to hopefully make her laugh, I love hearing her laugh. Was trying to graft The Owl and The Pussycat, The Iliad, and Jason and The Argonauts in an act of poetic madness so chose a vague Limerick form.

This Is What I Do When People Throw Rocks At Me
Rocks have been thrown at me for a greater part of my life. Some have been small and missed hitting me. When people don't get a reaction from me, they throw bigger rocks with a better aim. Many have been hurled at me with precision over the years. For a long time, I thought my only options were to dodge them or be crushed by them.

Yet again, an educational haiku. :D
Ouch! I hope this was not your moment of 'now' but something you witnessed. Great haiku, nevertheless, and a good reminder to those who drive.
Hmm, reminded me of getting a ticket. Great Haiku!
❤️💛💚 📸 Great Job!
Well-wrought haikus! But I definitely like milkshakes and living room boogies better than traffic stops!
Good thing it didn't end with an accident, just a fine. Great haiku, Tiffany!
Oh my, the implications in this haiku! Love it!
This is so simple it’s kinda slick! I swear traffic laws feel like the universe sometimes lol. 💖
The driver was likely counting Haiku syllables while driving; I hear that writing poetry whilst behind the wheel will soon be illegal, lol
Excellent Haiku ! 🥰🥰🥰You are on a roll !
That's an oopsie right there. Loved this!
Power to you
