LOVE

Living things need love:

you, and I, and all the rest

need it like we breathe.

  

Ornament of life:

it glorifies all actions

making the soul fly.

  

Very deep inside

love is born from simple seeds

and just waits to grow.

  

Even through dark times

love can help one go forward

into one’s own light.

SIGLEM

Simple poetry

revolving around one thing

anything you like.

Imagine all of

the different themes you can use

to make your siglem.

Greatness comes even

from a structure that guides us

five-seven-and-five.

Let’s talk about rhyme:

the scheme will always be free

and that is no crime.

Entirely new

this original poem

is not a haiku.

My time has now come

to begin my first siglem

and call it my own.
