How long's it been since I seen you last?
How long since you've became a fixture of our pasts?
You were one of those people that could make people smile and laugh.
The kind to go up to a person you knew should you see them walk past.
They say your son is growing fast.
His hair even turning red in almost a flash.
Though I've only seen photos myself through a phones looking glass.
You also had a few hobbies we wished you lacked.
But nothing to make us think less cause of such a fact.
Because who you were always remained intact.
I wonder if you can see us where your at?
Does my humor and poor luck still give you laughs?
Hopefully the grief of the others aren't making you sad.
Thinking back now, from my earliest memory of the past, up till that last talk we had......
Just how long has it been since we got that call and I helped bury you beneath the grass?
^_^ Thanks.I really liked this poem a lot.
Sad to say the reason isn't anywhere near that mature, reasonable or peaceful. Everyone fell apart for far more foolish reasons.I want to believe its because, your parents or anyone else's parents for that matter wanted to be independent and live out their own lives. Creating new bonds and making their family grow, so their kids can have clans of their own to look forward to
They were.In a way, I feel like you described a perfect summer that was so long ago.
That's the exact reason for a reunion and they can be every bit of what you seen in summer wars or imagine from my poem but sadly we don't even have those anymore.I'd say that's why some people still have family reunions. Even myself, I go to a reunion but, I don't know as many people there then most do. Its interesting though, because you can still see people connect over a long period of time.And you reminded me of Summer Wars too. We just have to keep making forward and hold onto the precious memories of loved ones, while we still can.
Sokka is haiku champ~ x'DA good haiku. I think of Sokka every time someone mentions a haiku.
I believe winter is already on its way. Winter is certainly beautiful but, its also cruel. At the same time it can create a romantic setting for couples every where. I enjoyed your haiku, Gram.

But pretty much prose is using every day speech and language in poetry. I jsut think that's your style of poetry, and to me that's a very good thing.
