I look at my new underwater friend

You came to me when I was broken

It isn't autism, you heard us wrong,

ALL SOULS THAT HAVE BEEN OFFERED ASCENSION AND REFUSED,

You cannot ever force something to change.

I saw the revolution

Human beings are a race of poets — some of us develop this trait fully while others of us are content to walk through life without a thought to the world that surrounds us. We have the capacity to see nature and the world around us as something more than meets the eye. Some see this human trait as biological, simply a series of synapses firing or connecting when we view a scene in nature or think abstractly, but some see it as a spiritual endeavor outside of biology that we develop in order to transcend everyday existence. Either way, it is a quality unique to humans.

Matsuo Kinsaku, or Basho, as he is more commonly known, born 1644 in Japan, considered to be the master of Haiku poetry, would today perhaps take a liking to the camera, especially the iphone and smaller mirrorless cameras. They could easily have been transported in his backpack on a trip into the north country of Japan — but would it have changed his poetry?

You may know him as Mr. Mojo Risin, the psychedelic rock god of The Doors or you may know him as just a disturbing and strange artist who joined the famed 27 Club with his death on July 3, 1971. Both accounts would be true. Love him or hate him, James Douglas Morrison created a counter culture movement of rage that filled the 60s in stark opposition to the positive message of love from contemporaries John Lennon. Instead, Morrison tapped into the collective conscious of a generation enraged and disturbed by its wars and conspiracies and failures. Its betrayals.

When it comes to writing, words usually come pretty easy. As true as this statement may be everyone gets hit with cinder blocks that may prevent them from creating a masterpiece.

You came to me when I was broken

Enticed by the thought of your eyes when they pretend they don't like me

Trying to find a reason

I look at my new underwater friend

It isn't autism, you heard us wrong,

You cannot ever force something to change.

My Beautiful Mermaid

There is not a more enjoyable feeling than looking at you,

In the way I knew your face

I walk on the unstable ground of stones

Come and see the old oak tree

Here is a collection of Haiku. hai·ku /ˈhīˌko͞o/ noun

Late last night, I fell asleep.

Think of his laugh,

Hey, Big Sister,

ALL SOULS THAT HAVE BEEN OFFERED ASCENSION AND REFUSED,

Give spreading your wings a try...

I thought it would be easy

I saw the revolution

Death of an era,

The wall he promised to keep out crime

Where will I go when I die?

A thorn in my flesh

I can compartmentalize

Inside of my soul tendencies

What was so magical way back then

Small white pebble
