I typically always do the same thing for my poetry: 5 haikus sandwiched between 2 tankas. But I decided to mix things up by changing my format. This is 4 stanzas with 8 syllables for each line.

Try to Build Stairs Out of Light
Is a picture worth a thousand words? I’m not sure, but I feel like a picture is at least worth a Haiku poem.
I created all of these images myself.
The Cosmic Ceiling
I wrote this poetry with my father’s photography in mind. The seven stanzas are as follows: a beginning Tanka, 5 Haiku, and a final Tanka. I hope these images and words inspire your day.
Aquarius Clouds
All photography accompanying this poetry was taken by my father, Ronald Neumann.
The God Within
All photography is owned by the extremely talented Samuel Oddo. Be sure to check out his videography too!
Calibrating Consciousness
Besides the picture of the polluted water (courtesy of MorgueFile), I used photos from my father for these poems. The dog is my chocolate Labrador, Roxy.
Freed Om
I made this poetry with the inspiration of the following photos sent to me by my father.
I hope you enjoy!
Stuck No More
Stuck No More
Whispers in the wind,
Thoughts walking over themselves:
Can it really be?
Clockwork gears overturning.
Desperation pressurized.
Under-standing
Under-standing
My heart lies on strings,
Feeling all perturbations,
Those stress vibrations—
Like a spider does for prey,
But praying for relation.
Let’s Update the Plot
Let’s Update the Plot
It’s so arrogant
For one generation to
Presume that it “has
Always been this way” and worse
Still that it shouldn’t be changed.
