Living In Fear Gets One Nowhere

This baby bird
Just couldn't fly.
In fact it never
Gave it a try.
But then one day,
While in a sapling,
The limb gave way-
His wings went a'flapping.

He looked all around,
And saw that the ground,
Was quite far away,
He yelled out, "Hooray!"

"To think all this time
I've wasted in fear.
When push came to shove
The truth was quite clear."

Two Year Anniversary - Hiku

On earth we are one,
Twice we've traveled around the sun.
Family of three.

Haiku

The cutting of words
The seasonal reference
How to make haikus.

Epitaph

Born at the rightful age of none,
Lived out my life to total sum.

From the collection of untiled works by Jacob Hole

As we journey down our road,
Time catches up, turns us old.
As our journey nears it's end,
And we round the final bend,
When God dampens out the light-
Sweet dreams, sleep tight, and goodnight.

The Transplant Trading

It's a well accepted fact
That a human has but one,
Of the central beating muscles.
Because there's room for only one.

So, I've made some room inside me,
By removing of my own.
And holding out in front of me,
I will trade you it for your own.

I'll cherish and protect it
As the diamond rare and fine-
If willing to give me your heart,
Inversely your welcome to mine.

The Impediment Poem: Praxias, Stutters, amd Lisps

T-t-talking with a stutter
Causes words to s-s-suffer.
T-too many ph-phrases
Many problems it r-raises.

If I say, "I would like two-two,"
Or, "Yes, surely I will do-do,"
Meanings of the words ch-change,
And everyone thinks I am strange.

So before I go f-further,
I'll be silent, not a murmur.
