Poems never read
Blue-touched lips, as cold as ice
Forever nineteen.
Dedicated to my twin, Sally, who passed away on December 26th, 2005.
I always get maudlin around this time of year, especially as we draw closer to the date that I will have lived longer without my other-half than the number of years I had her in my life. I have my own traditions to remember her, ones that i imagine I'll keep all of my life, but that doesn't make it any easier.
This Cristmas, forget the gifts and commercialism, and take a moment to hold your loved ones close.

Existential Blues
Eternal blue sky Mirrors the Void in my soul Infinite expanse... Honestly, I'm not feeling this challenge anywhere near as much as I did the Mountain Haiku one, but I decided to give it a go anyway. It turned out a little more morbid than I was expecting, but it's been a bit of a week, so I shouldn't be too surprised.

Tales of the Aurora Borealis
Who knew a solar storm could be so beautiful? Purples, reds, and greens shimmering in our skies like dancing ribbons. Hypnotic and enchanting, the Northern Lights have had us humans in complete awe for centuries. Which got me thinking, what did our ancestors think of the Aurora Borealis?
