The Haikus of DWD
This poem goes out to all of you folks who grew up in the 1980s and the 1990s (including myself). This poem brings out the 80s-90s kid in all of us. Enjoy this 80s/90s flashback poem!
The night has fallen
Bad guys have scattered the streets
Let’s get dangerous
Whipped out his gas gun
He swooped out of the shadows
The terror that flaps
Looks for the bad guys
Approaches them in the distance
Suck gas, evildoer!
Took out his smoke bomb
He creates his grand entrance;
Very Determined
He’s ready; willing

An Ode To Rejection
Rejection, Rejection,
Oh, how that I loathe thee
It seems to me that you are
NOT my cup of tea.
I have tried to fit in
And to get in on the action,
But you just keep coming in;
giving me a bad reaction.
I have applied myself
To many aspects of life,
You came in, ruined it,
And you’ve given me the strife.
From jobs, internships, applications, and auditions
for a chance to act in the theatrical productions,
to contests, competitions, sports games and tryouts
Thanks to you, I’m feeling left out.
I’ve lost the...

We're Broken Puzzle Pieces
Before you read my work, I'm just reminding you that half of the work is in Poetry/Spoken Word form and the other half is in notes/bullet point form. With that said, enjoy.
Over 7 Billion People living in this world.
7 BILLION.
And each and every one of them is trying to “FIT IN” in their societies.
They tried.
And tried.
AND TRIED.
But they just don’t seem
To overcome that obstacle.
We’re broken.
We’re just broken.
I am one of them.
I have tried to put myself out there
Over and over again
With the result of ME being...

I Like Being Quiet
I like being quiet
It’s what I do best
It’s hard for me to get the things
Off of my chest.
I do have a lot of thoughts
Scattered throughout my brain,
Hard for me to convert from thoughts to phrases
It puts me in a lot of pain.
When I talk to people, I stumbled and jumbled
With the things that I want to say,
All they do is they don’t care about me
And that keeps me at bay.
It’s hard for me to make some friends
For they always come and go,
I would go from one person to another
that I will never get to know.

I Need Acceptance In My Life
oooooooooooh,
Oooooooooooh. (x2)
Throughout my life
I’m having a hard time,
I stumble and fall
And struggle through it all.
I’ve tried to fit in
But they always shut me out,
Is there something wrong with me?
Why they always put me down?
I need to know what’s going on
What’s it all about,
I need to have a purpose
That will make me stand out.

My Imaginary Translations based on poet Federico Garcia Lorca's poem "Paisaje"
1) The mistaken afternoon
I'm dressed for the cold.
Behind the windows,
It's cloudy, all of the kids
see the changing of the birds
in the yellow tree.
The afternoon was spent out
along the river.
And a blush of an apple
trembles in the roofs.

The Great Citywide Pillow Fight-An Anecdote
The best THING
That ever happened to me was
When I was a college freshman.
It happened in mid-February of 2009.
Valentine's Day.
A day of celebrating a couple's
Relationship with each other,
A day of romance & companionship,
And a day to say "I love you"
to your significant other.....
While getting SMACKED
In the FACE
By a PILLOW!
I was in San Francisco
at the time.
The City by the Bay.
It was three weeks
before Valentine's Day.
Throughout the entire
San Francisco State...

The Taiko Goes "Boom"-A Set of Haikus
Big, Cylinder Drums
Lets out a thunderous sound
The taiko goes "Boom"
Pair of wooden sticks
Strike the surface of the drum
The taiko goes "Boom"
A group of people
Create a sound together
The taiko goes "Boom"
Music and Movement
Together; with a heartbeat
The taiko goes "Boom"
We come together
To see and feel the drum's voice
The taiko goes "Boom"
The fue's light sound
Separates the light from dark
The taiko goes "Boom"
The Rain...
