Eight-Word Poems

you keep
the good things
distribute superfluous
free!

gave out too much good
just getting here

:)

good begot good
nothing lost
nothing gained, right?

No regrets about the past.
Moving forward?
Different.

:)

one step forward
two steps backward
let's dance!:)

Oh, strange other:
Why are you like that?

pushing on
struggling farther
will succeed
this time

time trundles on
whether we wish
or not

a sweet kiss
can turn the
clock back!

Our presence beneath our skin
runs further in

steel needle
pierces
the inner peel
of silk

fly now
for time
is gone
too fast

Everyday we're running.
Everyone of us.
Every minute.

this is nice,,,quite extempore!

Every minute
a thought gives birth to a
new thought and dies!

sorry, I was carried off by a haiku!

Every minute
a thought is killed
by thought

Cats creep and pounce
Dogs attack too honestly

into what

space

did the

big bang

bang?

Simple!
The Big Bang
banged in the
Cosmos!

Maybe
the Big Bang was
pre-cosmic,
pre-universal,
pre-life?

Sunshine crinkles
my face
up into
a smile :)

Every word,
Unsaid or
Unheard
Is not,
Absurd!

why would
in love and hate
formalities
matter?

We believe in God
Yet disapprove of dictatorship!

every man
is a dictator
of his will.

he plucked me from shadows;
thawed the hoarfrost.

no sleep
falling on eyelids
no dreams
tonight

A discernible smile,
A lost expression,
Can injure!

my horizon
is now extended
out to you

My mind
is as cluttered
as my bookshelf.

Ah, Barbara clearly delighted,
endlessly flattered!
Great honour! :D


As for alphabetical arrangement: I'm trying to arrange them chronologically plus thematically plus school versus private. There you go!

That sounds like fun!

perusing the library
at home
in my mind.

In jewelled knowledge
let me now
opine, pensive

Wow! :)

Leave me alone;
let me enjoy
my solitude.

Solitude, though occasionally necessary,
leaves us craving company.

Company is a necessity,
be it only virtual.

Three word poetry?
What's next?
One word poetry?

You should've posted that
on three-word thread. :)

The rain
washed away
thoughts of
having you
