Alliterative Haiku

Two variations on an alliterative haiku (that's haiku with alliteration)

she says I sound so \\ 
souled-up, sold on a light dream \\ 
drifting in the wind.
(tweet)

she says I sound so \\ 
souled-up, sold on the soft sand \\ 
sailing in the sun.
(tweet)

The second is more completely alliterative, but I like both. They're peaceful :)

writing jam/rainy day - part 1

Making muddle of baking puddles, screaming curdles with bitter whey.
Climbing a ladder of I don't want to be here, crunching an apple, in the uncomfortable constant of whirligig roundabout change. Castles in the air, a ferris wheel with flapping legs; safety bar to hem you in, protect your head from falling out, out -- smack onto the tarred concrete, the bubbled cobbles, the unfriendly sharp-stoned flatspread, pierced deep with the mighty roots of steel.

I wrote this piece, and its continuation, on a heavily rainy day.

forecast bricks

forecast bricks, a-falling from the sky, this morning.

denting the grass, a raining danger.

confounding the best-laid landscapes,

cratering hedges and ticketing garden gnomes;

splashing and crashing

and crushing delicate fountainwork,

intricate garden lacery,

squashing it, slamming it,

flat.
