blast from the past

 i was wandering through my files during a late night paper writing procrastination break and came across these gems from my time at BYU when i first started writing for fun.  these three are from 2006.  i still love them.




I Just Don’t Understand Metabolic Processes

I can’t understand
I can’t filter through the nonsense,
That is floating in my head.
As gray matter spills out my ears
And everything goes blank
A question enters through my eyes
And finds a billion more
And this is how the process goes
Over and over and over again
Till I just
Give up.


Haikus:
The dog licks the sand
 In his mouth tiny rocks
 A bit of history on his tongue

Where the flower blooms
And in adversity flourishes
There lies strength
