Last night the Eagles
Had their wings clipped by Cowboys.
Come on Superbowl!

Flakes and Chic-Fil-A
Flakes
Let it snow!
Or stop the teasing.
These random flakes
are not that pleasing.
Come now clouds,
are you man enough
to send down more
than your dandruff?
Chic-Fil-A
Chic-Fil-A
You've made our day
With two fine chicken biscuits.
To top it off we
Sipped on coffee-
Bistro Dark's a hit.
It flushed away
The morning haze.
We're chomping at the bit!

Haiku
An ode to Haiku
Where every word weighs a ton
Potent, rich, and simple.
That was a Haiku about Haiku's, in the strictest sense they are three line poems with a set number of syllables:
5
7
5
It doesnt take long to hammer one out, but every word should be taken into consideration, there's no room to waste. It's exciting to try and pack as much meaning and imagery as possible into three short lines.
Ten degrees outside
In Little Rock nonetheless
What did you say Al?

Sophistication
Do you ever feel an urge
deep within your bones
to don that turtleneck and sport coat,
slide gel covered fingers through your hair,
and dare to do something of note?
Something sophisticated,
formal, expensive, maybe antiquated-
thoroughly out of your element?
It's a thrill
dabbling in the world of the elites,
casting your best image into the stream
of cash and venom.
And always a sigh of relief to return
to flannel and denim.
