You lied about him.
the kid selling lemonade.
Why isn't he real?
I wanted Lemonade
i was quite disappointed
now i am so sad.
how many haikus
can now be written about
missing lemonade?
------- (ok thats enough whining about lemonade)

Wind comes past your face
A bulbous front gently wafts
It cools, then rolls on.
Bright sun, short shadows.
Two hours past noon I sit
Here in the courtyard
write one more haiku
it should not be another
plea for lemonade.
How to write a poem. Any poem.
Start with an idea.
boil it down, make it simpler.
this is what your poem about.
Now write something about it.
A fact.
something you want someone to know.
something solid, a hook.
Now that your reader is reading its time to lay it down.
whatever deep knowledge you are trying to convey.
keep using a rhythm so as not to lose your reader.
then switch, to your new topic.
the other half of your argument
the reason they should keep reading.
and remember to only use
part of a sentence per line
in order to make them read the next one.

Life is good, im not blue
Eating beef noodles from a bowl
Dont think I’m short.
That would be incorrect
How do I do that? - I wondered – sitting on the couch
Eat quite a lot, when I actually eat
Games, glass, girlfriend, and guns that shoot foam.
Rascally twisty curly hair, hazel eyes and a pointy jaw.
Really soft on the inside.
Adventure!
Soft, worn hoodies and broken in jeans with a belt.
Stringy thin like a bean on a stalk,
Health concerns occasionally frustrate me.
