Of my Ill-Tempered MomentsA Poem by H.M. EccherA collection of haiku written when I am inspired by anger.
When you are upset
don't do something you'll regret; just write a haiku Secondhand smoke is extremely disgusting so don't smoke near children Holding your bladder while on your period is so very painful My mom's goats are weird They always stay in one place although they are free Society has a way of stifling one just as one's wings show He who drinks too much has not won; for though he gives truth, he receives none I could write like Anne but I have no desire to write about sex It is long past close If you want to get your clothes, come sooner next time! Please don't take that last haiku with a dirty mind I'm a Cleaners girl. Hot coffee seeping through my thin plastic trash bag, why do you loathe me? It looks so pretty outside where I'd like to be if only I could... Spiteful words hurt all as they slip so easily off your untamed tongue Haiku come to me begging me to go quickly and write them all down If I were to be jealous of one thing men have, it would be pockets. Freud was very wrong. I have pocket envy, not genital envy. It occurs to me that I write about pockets more than I do of love. Okay where I've been, glad where I am, excited for where I'm going. "You are beautiful." It means nothing to me, now. I have heard it all.
