A Haiku about Life
Poetry by Bahamian poet - Dennis Arthur Dames - Nassau, The Bahamas - with valued thoughts worth sharing.
Expressing it’s so difficult…
And words are so scarce right now
I’m thinking about something…
I know that it’s worth sharing
Writer’s block must be my condition…
I feel so helpless… and lost
I’m surrounded by motivation…
I feel the energy of excitement
But the words I seek are holding me hostage
I’m restless…
I should forget my agony for now
And focus on a meaningful task in the interim
Take a walk perhaps…
Or simply a short drive
Disregard the ink and paper for a while…
Temporary conditions are facts of existence…
A dead-end in writing’s no exception
Be prepared for when the fountain flows again…
And record those thoughts in words preponderant

The winds of change are eternal
Sustaining life internal
As the sun burns brisk in the sky
The winds of eternity comes alive
With the fresh wind comes new life
And the old and faded, are relieved accordingly

Whispers resonate in the night...
Homage paid to the old trite
Giggles occasionally, and stamping feet
Exaggeration in full competition...
Acting out the notorious repetition
Chatter and gossip- the night stood still...
Not even a break for a unified thrill
Blab, whine and scandal...
No end in sight, except daybreak perhaps...
Yeah, oh yes...
Wow, someone said- 'goodnight'!
An engine started, and suddenly there was one less
Then, the goodbyes became contagious
A deafening silence followed
The night was free!
The sounds and songs became alive...
The natural creatures subscribed
Whispers transformed...
The night's welcomely reformed
