I will supply all poems via screen sharing. Where appropriate, I may also screen share YouTube readings of the poems.

However, I will include the Haiku's here only because there are a large number of them. I will also share a rare poem difficult to find elsewhere:

Kimberly L. Briones-An Ocean of Memories
Published: February 2006
My family is the ocean around us.
My father is the hurricane, 
knocking anything and everybody out of his path.
My mother is the sunshine after the storm (my father), 
clearing and calming everything else.
My oldest brother is the sand, 
kicked and blown away by my dad, 
but warmed with care by my mom.
My oldest sister is the breeze in the wind, 
cool, quiet, and there when you need her.
My other two brothers are the stingrays, 
dangerous, 
but also willing to fight anyone who comes along.
And I, 
I am an old ship at the bottom of the sea, 
lost, abandoned, but full of memories.

Haikus Jack Kerouac

***

The bottom of my shoes
are clean
from walking in the rain.

***

Snap your finger
stop the world –
rain falls harder.

***

After the shower
among the drenched roses
the bird thrashing in the bath.

***

Early morning gentle rain,
two big bumblebees
Humming at their work

***

Birds singing
in the dark
—Rainy dawn.

***

The rain has filled
the birdbath
Again, almost

***

Useless, useless,
the heavy rain
Driving into the sea.

***

The little worm
lowers itself from the roof
By a self shat thread

***

Nightfall,
boy smashing dandelions
with a stick.

***

frozen
in the birdbath
A leaf

***

In my medicine cabinet
the winter fly
has died of old age

***

Missing a kick
at the icebox door
It closed anyway.
