Guard Your Battery
Why are some people so attractive just by standing there? It’s not because they are "likable," but because they don’t need everyone to like them. I realized later that truly charismatic people allow themselves to be criticized, but they never criticize themselves. They never try to please the world; instead, the world stops to watch them.

To Sail On The Seven Seas (With Cats)
This is a poem for my Muse to hopefully make her laugh, I love hearing her laugh. Was trying to graft The Owl and The Pussycat, The Iliad, and Jason and The Argonauts in an act of poetic madness so chose a vague Limerick form.

Lightning Never Strikes Twice
The distant rumble, the sudden deluge, the crescendo of sound, the flash of light, the explosive energy — it never gets old. I became an amateur storm chaser about two years ago. My wife, Cindy suggested it. Sort of. She said, "Alex, you know this cancer is killing me. I've come to terms with that, but you're smothering me. Go join a band, write a book, or become a storm chaser, for all I care. I love you, but you need a hobby."

It’s amazing how a simple traffic incident can feel like a mini-drama when written this way. Very clever use of haiku structure!
Um, Facts!!!
Great! Hope the fine wasn't yours!😉💗
Yet again, an educational haiku. :D
Ouch! I hope this was not your moment of 'now' but something you witnessed. Great haiku, nevertheless, and a good reminder to those who drive.
Hmm, reminded me of getting a ticket. Great Haiku!
❤️💛💚 📸 Great Job!
Well-wrought haikus! But I definitely like milkshakes and living room boogies better than traffic stops!
Good thing it didn't end with an accident, just a fine. Great haiku, Tiffany!
Oh my, the implications in this haiku! Love it!
This is so simple it’s kinda slick! I swear traffic laws feel like the universe sometimes lol. 💖
The driver was likely counting Haiku syllables while driving; I hear that writing poetry whilst behind the wheel will soon be illegal, lol
Excellent Haiku ! 🥰🥰🥰You are on a roll !
That's an oopsie right there. Loved this!
Power to you
